I suppose I’ll be corrected if I’m mistaken, but I thought funding bills weren’t subject to the 60 vote cloture rule.
It’s a two-step process. First budget (early in the year) then appropriations (late in the year)
Budget bills are subject to Reconciliation, which is a simple majority vote.
This is an appropriations bill, which isn’t and still subject to filibuster.
Victor. Reconciliation is used to bypass filibusters when taking up budget bills such as DHS. The following is a Wikipedia definition of Reconciliation. By the way, Reconciliation was used to pass Obamacare.
Reconciliation is a legislative process of the United States Senate intended to allow consideration of a budget bill with debate limited to twenty hours under Senate rules.[1] Reconciliation also exists in the United States House of Representatives, but because the House regularly passes rules that constrain debate and amendment, the process has had a less significant impact on that body.
