Protect America's Credit Act of 2015

Summary

Protect America's Credit Act of 2015 This bill revises the statutory debt limit to: (1) apply the limit only to debt held by the public, and (2) require annual adjustments to the limit to account for increases in the gross domestic product. (Under current law, the debt limit applies to debt held by the public and debt held by government accounts.
