The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to a transition to balanced budgeting by the United States Government, which may include requirements that total outlays for any fiscal year not exceed total receipts for that fiscal year, unless three-fifths of the whole number of each House of Congress shall provide by law for a specific excess of outlays over receipts by a roll call vote, or that prior to each fiscal year, the President transmits to the Congress a proposed budget for the United States Government for that fiscal year in which total outlays do not exceed total receipts, with exceptions for periods of lower economic growth, emergencies, and mandatory spending as appropriate, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2025 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2030. ______
