It urges the U.S. to rejoin the declaration, affirming commitments to women's health, the dignity of life, and the family unit. The resolution aims to prevent international promotion of abortion and defend the rights of countries to enact policies aligned with these values. It also commits to ensuring that U.S. foreign policy does not include funding or lobbying for abortion.

The Balanced Budget Accountability Act aims to hold Congress accountable for the nation's growing debt by defining a balanced budget and setting financial penalties for members if they fail to pass one. Starting in 2026, if a balanced budget is not approved, congressional salaries will be held in escrow, and from 2028 onward, members may be reduced to an annual salary of $1 if a balanced budget is not approved. Additionally, the act requires a three-fifths supermajority vote in both the Senate and House to pass any bill that increases revenue.
