      "title": "\u201cFast Track\u201d Procedures to Disapprove Additional Funds Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act",
      "summary": "The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA, Division A of H.R. 1424, P.L. 110-343) empowers the Secretary of the Treasury to act to stabilize the economy. Should the Secretary wish to have more than $350 billion outstanding under the program, the President must submit a written report to Congress detailing the Secretary\u2019s request and his plan to implement it. The receipt of this report triggers a 15-day period during which Congress may reject the Secretary\u2019s request by enacting a joint resolution of disapproval. This disapproval resolution would be considered in the House and Senate under \u201cfast track\u201d parliamentary procedures which are intended to ensure an opportunity to consider and vote on the measure. This report examines these procedures and explains how they differ from the regular parliamentary mechanisms of the House and Senate. It also estimates certain deadlines under the act based on the recent submission of the President\u2019s report. It will be updated as needed.",
