Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) on Thursday are slated to introduce companion resolutions declaring the national debt a threat to the country's national security.
The introduction of the resolutions comes just days ahead of Congress's March 2 debt limit deadline.
The resolutions note that the total outstanding public debt surpassed $22 trillion in February with total interest exceeding $192 billion for fiscal year 2019.
They call on Congress to return to regular order, adding that a balanced federal budget hasn't been signed since 1997.
President Donald Trump does have the authority to declare a national emergency in order to build his promised border barrier between the United States and Mexico if gridlock in Congress makes it necessary, a Republican lawmaker says.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) is calling for an investigation into whether federal law enforcement officials leaked details about the indictment and arrest of Roger Stone, a longtime Republican strategist and ally of President Trump, to the media.
Last Monday evening, eight U.S. congressmen and I stood on a bluff overlooking the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales, Arizona, at the southern border with Mexico. We were wrapping up a two-day tour of the border by getting a bird's-eye view of the thousands of cars and tractor-trailers carrying freight that enter America every day through this busy port.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is throwing a political temper tantrum by urging President Trump not to deliver the State of the Union address in the House chamber as scheduled Tuesday.
Everyone in Washington including the president of the United States has consistently said he or she would like a legislative resolution to the current impasse on the need to secure the southern border. It is unlikely that there will be a legislative solution any time soon. However, the will of the American people is to stop illegal immigration.
