HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act

This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds for any military parade in the District of Columbia primarily intended to celebrate an individual's birthday or personal milestone, specifically mentioning President Donald J. Trump. It explicitly forbids the obligation or expenditure of federal funds for the planning, execution, security, transportation, or infrastructure support of such a parade. Congress finds that military parades are traditionally reserved for national celebrations, not personal events , and notes that a previously considered parade during President Trump's first term was canceled due to significant cost concerns , including over $113 million in combined military and public safety expenses. The legislation also highlights the risk of heavy military vehicles causing infrastructure damage to District of Columbia roads, which would necessitate taxpayer-funded repairs, and emphasizes that public funds should support the American people, not personal glorification . The bill humorously suggests alternative birthday celebrations for President Trump, such as cake or golf, and encourages sending wishes via the U.S. Postal Service.
