==History==
Article I, section 9 of the United States Constitution provides that
Initially, the House appointed special committees to monitor the use of public moneys. In 1802, the Committee of Ways and Means was empowered to review expenditures and to report such provisions and arrangements "as may be necessary to add to the economy of the departments, and the accountability of their officers."〔''Annals of the Congress of the United States'', 7th Congress, 1st session., January 7, 1802, ( p. 412. )〕 On February 26, 1814, Congress divided the duties of the Committee of Ways and Means and transferred that part relating to the examination of past expenditures to a standing Committee on Public Expenditures.
In 1816, the House initiated an organizational change that provided a means of continuously and consistently following the operations of the various Departments in the Executive branch and scrutinizing their expenditures. On February 28, 1816, Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia proposed the appointment of six standing committees to examine the accounts and expenditures of the State, Treasury, War, Navy, Post Office Departments and those related to the construction and maintenance of public buildings.〔(''Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States'', 14th Congress, 1st session ), February 28, 1816, pp. (411-413 )〕
The committees were created on March 30, 1816,〔(''Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States'', 14th Congress, 1st session ), March 30, 1816, pp. (550-551 )〕 with Stevenson Archer (Maryland), Wilson Lumpkin (Georgia), and Benjamin Huger (South Carolina) as the first members of the Committee on Expenditures in the Navy Department.
In 1927 it was consolidate with ten other Committees on Expenditures to form the United States House Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments. The functions of the committee are now part of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
