Bill 117 H.Res. 921, titled "Directing the Clerk of the House of Representatives to place a real time display of the United States total outstanding national debt in the House Chamber," was introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to require the Clerk of the House of Representatives to install a real-time display in the House Chamber that shows the current total outstanding national debt of the United States.
The bill aims to increase transparency and awareness among members of Congress and the public about the country's growing national debt. By having a constant visual reminder of the national debt in the House Chamber, lawmakers will be reminded of the importance of fiscal responsibility and the need to address the nation's debt crisis.
If passed, this bill would require the Clerk of the House of Representatives to ensure that the real-time display is prominently placed in the House Chamber and easily visible to all members of Congress and visitors. This display would show the current total outstanding national debt, which is the amount of money that the federal government owes to its creditors.
Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 921 seeks to promote accountability and awareness regarding the United States' national debt by providing a constant reminder to lawmakers of the country's financial obligations.
