The promise was to support a Balanced Budget Amendment, not necessarily to secure its ratification or enactment. As a sitting U.S. Representative, James Comer voted Yea on H.J.Res. 2, a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, on April 12, 2018. That direct official vote fulfills the promised support during the same federal term context, even though the resolution failed overall.
