Balance the federal budget and control spending

Crapo supports balancing the federal budget and controlling spending through a biennial federal budget process. He co-sponsored legislation that would require the president to submit a balanced budget to Congress, require a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to approve certain tax increases and new deficit spending, and prevent court rulings from imposing tax increases that bypass Congress.

Context: The described measures are proposals in bills he co-sponsored, not stated as enacted law.

In their own words

The legislation would mandate that the president submit a balanced budget to Congress
