Legislative Activity

This joint resolution proposes three amendments to the U.S. Constitution: granting the President line-item veto power over spending, imposing term limits on members of Congress, and requiring a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress to pass any legislation that raises taxes or fees. These amendments would take effect upon ratification by three-fourths of the states within seven years.

The "Protect Our Seniors Act" aims to safeguard Medicare and Social Security benefits by making it more difficult for the Senate to pass legislation that would reduce them. It establishes a point of order against bills that cut these benefits, requiring a two-thirds Senate vote to waive this rule. Additionally, the act prevents using Medicare savings to offset costs in unrelated areas of legislation, also requiring a two-thirds vote to bypass this restriction.

The "Homeowners Premium Tax Reduction Act of 2025" allows homeowners to deduct up to $10,000 in homeowners insurance premiums for their primary residence, reducing their adjusted gross income and overall tax burden. This deduction applies to taxable years after the law is enacted.

The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States, effectively eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year. It repeals the section of the Uniform Time Act that allows for standard time and adjusts time zone offsets from Greenwich Mean Time. States that previously opted out of daylight saving time would have the option to choose between the new, permanent daylight saving time or the previous standard time.
