アメリカ2014会計年度予算
これは2013年10月1日ー2014年9月30日を対象としている。
大統領が提案したのは2013年4月10日のことである。これは、2011年夏に成立した「予算コントロール法」により、2月4日の財政の崖をめぐる
交渉ならびにその結果としてのシークエスターの実施から2ヶ月後のことである(シークエスターの実際の開始は3月1日であった)。
それより前に、下院では下院案が、上院では上院案が成立しているが、いずれも前者が共和党、後者が民主党優勢のため、両院による成立には至っていない。現在、両党間の亀裂は史上例を見ないほど大きく、そもそも法案成立件数が記録的に少ない状況に陥っている。

The 2014 United States federal budget is the budget to fund government operations for the fiscal year 2014, which begins on October 1, 2013 and ends on September 30, 2014. The original spending request was issued by President Barack Obama in April 2012. The actual appropriations for fiscal year 2014 must be enacted by both houses of Congress before they can take effect, in accordance with the United States budget process.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 United States Budget exists only as several competing drafts; no official budget has been approved. President Obama submitted his budget proposal for the 2014FY on April 10, 2013, two months past the February 4 legal deadline due to negotiations over the United States fiscal cliff and implementation of the sequester cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011.[1] The House of Representatives passed its proposal, H.Con.Res 25, prior to the submission of the President's budget proposal, as did the Senate (S.Con.Res 8). The House and Senate budget resolutions are not expected to be reconciled as a final budget.[2]
At the time the fiscal year 2014 budget was debated, budgeting issues were controversial. Government spending had recently been limited by an automatic sequestration process that resulted when Congress failed to meet spending reduction targets set by the Budget Control Act of 2011. The House and Senate were controlled by different parties with different fiscal agendas.
