The American Jobs Act (S. 1549) (H. Doc. 112-53)[1] and (H.R. 12)[2] was the informal name for a pair of bills recommended by U.S. President Barack Obama in a nationally televised address[3] to a joint session of Congress on September 8, 2011.[4] He characterized the proposal as a collection of non-controversial measures designed to get Americans back to work, and he repeatedly urged Congress to pass it "right away"; he also said that the bills would not add to the national deficit and would be fully paid for.[5]
