Balanced Budget.
Section 13
SEC. 13. Balanced Budget.—The ordinary income shall be used primarily to provide for the current operation of the Government. Except in case of a national emergency or serious financial stress, the existence of which has been duly proclaimed by the President, the total authorized appropriations for the current operations shall not exceed the ordinary income; and, unless extraordinary circumstances justify it, the total estimated ordinary income shall not only cover the total estimated appropriations for current operations and capital outlays but it shall leave a reasonable surplus besides. No appropriations for the current operations and capital outlays of the Government shall be proposed, unless the amount involved is covered by the ordinary income, or unless it be supported by a proposal creating an additional source of funds or revenue, sufficient to cover the same. Likewise, no appropriation for any other expenditures, the amount of which is not covered by the estimated income from the existing sources of revenues or available current surplus, may be proposed unless it be supported by a proposal creating an additional source of fund sufficient to cover the same. The proposals creating additional sources of funds shall be prepared in the form of revenue bills which shall be appended to the Budget. The provisions of this section shall not be construed as impairing in any way the power of Congress to enact revenue and appropriation bills, nor the authority of the President to propose special revenue and appropriation bills after the submission of the budget.
