```json { "plain_summary": "This bill suggests adding a new part to the U.S. Constitution. This new part would make sure that the government doesn't spend more money than it brings in each year. It also says that the government can't borrow more money unless three-fifths of Congress agrees. The President would have to propose a budget where spending doesn't go over income. To raise taxes, a majority of each House of Congress would have to agree. The rules could be paused during a war or a serious military conflict. This new part would start five years after it's approved.", "title_match": "matches", "title_match_reason": "The official title accurately describes the core purpose of the bill, which is \"Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States.\"", "buried": "The bill includes specific conditions and exceptions, such as requiring a three-fifths vote for exceeding outlays or increasing debt, and allowing waivers during a \"declaration of war\" or \"military conflict which causes an imminent and serious military threat to national security.\" It also sets a five-year delay for the amendment to take effect after ratification." } ```
