Thanks for that explanation. But if Reid did replace the language of a HR with the Senate bill, isn’t that resulting new monstrosity now un-voted upon by the Senate?
No, Reid concluded the process successfully in the Senate on Christmas Eve.
The House must now pass the Senate bill as-is. They cannot change a single comma or it has to go back to the Senate where it would face another 60 vote requirement.
So the House passes the Senate bill; BO signs it; and we’ll see if the Senate upholds its end of the deal on the reconciliation package. BO and the Senate have every incentive to quit right there and screw the House.
