No, this is incorrect. This will not happen.

First: Not sure reconcilliation applies here. While this is a NASA bill that involves money, it is not THE Budget Bill.

Second: The Senate Parlementarian didn’t allow smaller violations in the Budget Bill. She definitely wouldn’t go for a complete outright rewrite of a bill.

While I am not 100% sure of anything these days, I feel this won’t work.

I hope it doesn’t, because I would not survive 2020.

“By any means necessary.” It’s the American Marxist way.

-- They know they can't do that and they tried to do it anyway. --

This move, stripping a bill and substituting totally different subject, happens often. Usually to originate by bill number only, subject matter that constitutionally must originate in the House.

In any deliberative body, rules of procedure can be waived. There is protocol for that too, but legislators don;t follow their own rules - this is normal, and it is part of why no reasoning person has a smidgen of respect for the US government.

If you want to see what’s in the bill you have to pass it huh.

[Political Junkie Too]

You can only use the reconciliation process once per year per type of bill: one spending bill, one revenue bill, one debt ceiling bill.

They need to be careful as to what the use it on.
