# OMB orders the Joint Committee sequestration for fiscal year 2013

Date: 2013

## The fact

On 1 March 2013 OMB sent Congress the Joint Committee sequestration report and the President issued the order cancelling about $85 billion in FY2013 budgetary resources after the supercommittee failed.

## Context

Budget Control Act 2011 sat as parent. Neighbouring unemployment print is a later mixed child. He did not sit as every agency furlough clerk. Congress failed to replace the cuts.

BCA 2 August 2011 is the parent. ARRA 2009 is an earlier opposite pulse. Unemployment 2017 is a later print.

A United States president proposes, signs, vetoes, and directs the executive. Congress enacts statutes. The Federal Reserve, states, courts, and later presidents share later series. Office-holding is not authorship of every later outcome. Allegation is not a completed judgment. Legislative achievements require shared congressional attribution. He does not set the federal funds rate, write a state Medicaid waiver by himself, or convert a 2009 oath into a unique 2016 uninsured coefficient. A signature is not unique authorship of a House and Senate text. A troop order is not authorship of every later round. He is not president as of 27 August 2026. [Donald Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump) is president from 20 January 2025. [Joe Biden](/people/env-person-joe-biden) was president 2021–2025.

## Evidence and sources

Office of Management and Budget carries the official instrument or communique. BBC records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [household purchasing power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power) and [fiscal-policy sustainability](/drivers/fiscal-policy-sustainability): a completed across-the-board cut with furlough weather.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1 March 2013 sequester order and OMB $85 billion report, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later 750,000-job coefficient from that Friday as a measured same-day print, or that every Head Start uniquely closed that hour.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He issued it. Congress failed to replace it. Agencies implemented furloughs.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies OMB orders the Joint Committee sequestration for fiscal year 2013, not a later speech about OMB orders the Joint Committee sequestration for fiscal year 2013.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. OMB orders the Joint Committee sequestration for fiscal year 2013 on 2013-03-01 is not a licence to treat every later Office of Management and Budget communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average OMB orders the Joint Committee sequestration for fiscal year 2013 into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to BCA required the order. He issued it. Congress failed to replace it. Agencies implemented furloughs. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
