Several candidates running for the U.S. presidency are considering introducing a "golden rule" into the Constitution. This rule would set a maximum level of deficit — the difference between government spending and revenue — that must not be exceeded when passing financial laws. The idea is to create a long-term fiscal discipline by legally limiting how much the government can borrow each year. Philippe Juvin, a deputy and general rapporteur of the budget, and a member of the Republican Right, has proposed a stricter version of this concept. During an interview on Europe 1 on Sunday, October 4, he suggested that if the golden rule is not respected by 2031 or 2032, members of parliament would lose their eligibility for re-election. Juvin called this a "constitutional order proposal" and argued that the deadline would give the country's creditors enough time to stabilize the economy without causing damage. Juvin explained that the proposed timeframe was chosen to provide a "reasonable and understandable deadline" for the country's financial obligations. He emphasized the need to force legislators to support balanced budgets, stating that without such constraints, achieving fiscal responsibility would be nearly impossible. He also mentioned that this rule would apply not only to members of parliament but also to ministers who are candidates for office. While some presidential candidates are focused on establishing a golden rule that limits the government’s deficit, Juvin’s approach targets the behavior of the legislative bodies themselves. He described his proposal as a "golden rule that applies to the assemblies themselves," stating that it would directly hold elected officials accountable. Juvin believes that this measure would lead to a rapid reduction in the national deficit.
