Noteworthy events

Reps. Huelskamp (R-KS) and Amash (R-MI) removed from committee

In March 2012, Republican Reps. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) and Justin Amash (R-MI) voted against Rep. Paul Ryan's (R) budget plan in the House Budget Committee. According to Reuters, Reps. Heulskamp and Amash said that the budget “did not make deep enough cuts to entitlement programs and military spending.”[3] The committee approved the budget by a vote of 19-18. All other Republican members of the committee voted in favor of the plan.[4]

On December 3, 2012, the Republican Steering Committee made the decision to remove both Reps. Huelskamp and Amash from the House Budget Committee and the Financial Services Committee committee in the following session. According to NBC News, Reps. Huelskamp and Amash said they believed they were being punished for voting against the budget plan. Rep. Huelskamp said, “It's petty, it's vindictive and if you have any conservative principle, you'll be punished.”[5]

According to Politico, a spokeswoman for Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) said that according to Westmoreland, removing the members from the committees “had nothing to do with their voting record, a scorecard, or their actions across the street [meaning fundraising]. It had to do with their inability to work with other members[.]”[6]

Jurisdiction

According to the official House website, the jurisdiction of the Budget Committee includes the following:

“
  1. Concurrent resolutions on the budget (as defined in section 3(4) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974), other matters required to be referred to the committee under titles III and IV of that Act, and other measures setting forth appropriate levels of budget totals for the United States Government.
  2. Budget process generally.
  3. Establishment, extension, and enforcement of special controls over the Federal budget, including the budgetary treatment of offbudget Federal agencies and measures providing exemption from reduction under any order issued under part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
