Legislative Branch appropriations

The Legislative Branch appropriations refer to the federal budget allocated specifically for the operations of the legislative branch of government, which includes Congress and its supporting agencies. This funding covers salaries for lawmakers, staff, facilities, and services needed to conduct legislative business. Each year, Congress must approve these appropriations to ensure that it has the necessary resources to create, debate, and pass laws. This process is part of the broader budgetary framework where funding for all branches of government is decided, reflecting the priorities of the nation.
