Recognizing the national debt as a threat to national security.

This is a non-binding House resolution (H. Res. 631) introduced in the 119th Congress. It states that the national debt is a threat to U.S. national security, labels deficits as unsustainable and dangerous, and commits to restoring regular order in the federal appropriations process while addressing the fiscal crisis. The resolution does not itself create or change law or spending; rather, it expresses a policy stance and signals priorities to the Budget and Ways and Means committees for further action within their jurisdictions. It relies on a series of “Whereas” statements that cite debt totals, deficits, entitlement fund depletion projections, and concerns about international debt ownership and the dollar’s reserve status to justify its conclusions. In short, the bill aims to elevate the debt and deficit issue as a national security priority, advocate for reforms to the budget process, and push for future fiscal policy measures—without prescribing specific legislative remedies in its text.
