But as Sen. Mike Lee posted, “It’s hard to imagine how the SAVE America Act could be passed through reconciliation[.] And by ‘hard’ I mean ‘essentially impossible.'”
Lee explained the legislation is “non-budgetary. It can’t pass with budget reconciliation.”
Reconciliation allows Congress to pass certain bills that pertain to the federal budget with a simple majority vote. But any provision in the reconciliation must directly relate to spending or be related to a budgetary change. The SAVE America Act does not include any explicit budgetary or spending provisions.
It's hard to imagine that Sen. Kennedy doesn't know this.
