Presidential Budget Accountability Act
HR 857, the Presidential Budget Accountability Act, requires the President to submit the annual budget to Congress by the first Monday in February. If the budget is late, federal funds cannot be used for the President's travel expenses starting the Tuesday after that date until the budget is submitted. The bill specifically restricts funds for the President's expense allowance, travel costs, entertainment, and subsistence during travel. This directly affects the President's travel budget and aims to incentivize timely budget submissions by the executive branch.
