“The House is mostly irrelevant”
All spending bills must originate in the House. They have the power of the purse strings.
If the present Congress made a herculean effort they could, in theory, pass the next budget this year. I don’t expect that to happen, but if I were “in charge” that’s what I’d try to do.
I would LIKE to think Trump knows this and pushes Rs to do it or those close to him push him to do it.
I did not think of that.
But those who are in the business should and should put it into action swiftly.
“All spending bills must originate in the House. They have the power of the purse strings.”
Sort of. Obama never had a budget.
