PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona House says Congress needs to back a federal constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget.
The House voted 35-22 to send a request for an annual balanced budget to Congress and President Barack Obama.
The measure calls for the federal government to return to pre-2006 spending levels. It says Obama and Congress are "ignorant" about a "looming fiscal crisis."
It takes two-thirds of the state legislatures or two-thirds of both houses of Congress to propose a constitutional amendment. An amendment is ratified when three-fourths of the states vote to adopt it.
A House bill that would have Arizona join a compact with other states to push a balanced budget constitutional amendment failed in a key committee last week.
