House Republican leaders are preparing to introduce a budget resolution, a crucial step enabling them to use reconciliation to pass parts of Trump's agenda. This process allows legislation to pass with a simple majority in the Senate, avoiding the filibuster issue. However, unity between the House and Senate Republicans over budget specifics is essential, as seen in their disagreements over border funding and military spending. The reconciliation process, established by the 1974 Congressional Budget Act, is key for facilitating tax cuts and fiscal policy changes.
Reconciliation allows the party in control to pass legislation with a 51-vote simple majority in the Senate, bypassing the 60-vote threshold normally required.
The House Republican leadership aims to advance President Trump's policy agenda without Democratic input by using a budget resolution and the reconciliation process.
