I don’t get what the “if that doesn’t happen” means. If the Committee doesn’t get 7 votes then Congress must pass the BBA(which version of the the BBA?). But then it says if that doesn’t happen there are automatic cuts.

If what doesn’t happen?

Is that even constitutional? I don't like If/Then statements regarding passage.

‘If what doesn’t happen?’

If the Congress doesn’t make the required 1.8 trillion in reduced spending, it can either pass the BBA OR see automatic 1.8 trillion in across the board cuts.
