Government Shutdown Efficiency Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the President sell any real property owned by the federal government during a full or partial government shutdown caused by a lapse in funding. Money from these sales could be used to pay federal workers, including active-duty military members, who keep working during the shutdown, and those workers would not later receive back pay for that period. Sale proceeds received after a shutdown ends would go to the Treasury for deficit reduction, and sale proceeds could also be used to buy Greenland. Land held in trust for Indian Tribes is excluded, and the President could not sell federal property to North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, or entities they substantially control.
