Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Burchett promised to support a Balanced Budget Amendment, not necessarily secure final constitutional adoption. In federal office, he materially fulfilled that support by being listed as an original cosponsor/cosponsor of H.J.Res.113 in the 118th Congress, a proposed balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Because this action occurred while he was serving in the relevant federal office, timing is same_term. The effort badge is warranted because the evidence shows formal legislative action rather than only rhetorical support.

Burchett promised to support a Balanced Budget Amendment, not necessarily to secure final constitutional adoption. The evidence shows he was an original cosponsor/cosponsor of H.J.Res.113 in the 118th Congress, a joint resolution proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. That is a concrete legislative act matching the promised support during the same term.
