Deficit Reduction Act Challenged Again in Lawsuit Brought by Rep. Conyers

In a move that once again challenges the constitutionality of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932, Rep. John Conyers Jr. on April 28 filed a lawsuit to put in place a restraining order preventing the execution of the law. Conyers is the U.S. House Judiciary Committee ranking member.

Conyers, along with 10 other members of Congress are behind the lawsuit that asks that the bill be proclaimed unconstitutional and not law. Among the other members in the lawsuit is Rep. George Miller, D-CA, who also serves as ranking member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Identical Versions Must Pass

The legislation is in question because identical versions of a bill must be signed by the House and the Senate before the president signs it into law. However, this was not the case with the Deficit Reduction Act, which was signed into law on Feb. 8 by President Bush. Prior to the signing, and according to Democrats, different versions were passed by the House and Senate. The version passed by the House contained 36 months of funding for durable medical equipment; the Senate version specified 13 months.
