Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to support a balanced-budget constitutional amendment and deficit-spending curbs, not necessarily to secure ratification or enactment. Loudermilk materially fulfilled that support by sponsoring H.J.Res.29 in the 115th Congress and later reintroducing similar balanced-budget amendment resolutions. The amendment did not pass, but the promised action was support and legislative advancement, which occurred during his congressional service.
