Deschler’s Precedents
Volume 18
Summary
Chapter 41 of Volume 18 of Deschler’s Precedents is devoted to the budget process, which as a parliamentarian regimen of rules and procedures has come late in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives. Though budgeting has always been of central importance to the Congress, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 brought it into the rules of the House as never before. The most important element of that Act was the creation of an annual budget resolution, which is a rulemaking document, tantamount to the Rules of the House and Senate in both form and application. Hence, the Parliamentarians are of critical importance in keeping and recording the precedents associated with the ways in which budget law, as a broad concept, is applied in the form of rules of the House.
