View on Congress.gov

Legal & Constitutional Grounding

Pentagon cannot pass a financial audit; appropriating without accountability lacks fiscal basis.

GAO-25-107427 — DoD has failed all 7 independent financial audits (2018-2024); cannot account for $4.1 trillion in assets
  • Brown University Costs of War Project (2021) — $8 trillion total cost of post-9/11 wars
  • CBO, An Analysis of Discretionary Spending in the President's 2025 Budget (2024)

DoD Appropriations FY2025 — funds Pentagon operations. The bill continues military spending without requiring the Pentagon to pass an audit or demonstrate fiscal accountability.
