House Committee on the Budget

Concurrent resolutions on the budget, the congressional budget process generally, and the establishment, extension and enforcement of special controls over the federal budget.

House Committee on the Budget has 37 members, made up of 21 Republicans and 16 Democrats. Jodey C. Arrington chairs it. Brendan F. Boyle is the ranking member, which is the senior post held by the minority party. House committee assignments are made at the start of each 2-year Congress, so membership can change substantially after every general election. The membership below is generated from the roster this site maintains against clerk.house.gov and senate.gov.

Jurisdiction source: House Rule X

How business reaches this committee

House Rule X gives this committee the subjects above. Each bill introduced in the House is referred to the committee whose Rule X jurisdiction covers its primary subject, and a bill that spans several subjects can go to more than one committee at once. This committee then decides whether to hold hearings, amend the text and report it to the floor.

Subcommittees

The committee has no subcommittees and never has had any. It works in full committee and through task forces set up for particular questions.

Task forces are set up for a particular question and wound up when the work is done, so the committee’s structure changes from Congress to Congress while the full committee stays the constant.

Who serves on it

37 members sit on the committee: 21 Republicans and 16 Democrats. That gives the majority 21 of the 37 seats. Jodey C. Arrington is the chair. Brendan F. Boyle is the ranking member. They hold 36 district seats and 1 delegate seat, and each seat has its own page on this site.
