There are two pieces of legislation - the Original Senate Bill, which must be passed without alteration in the House. And, the Reconciliation Bill that will contain any number of provisions that modify the original Senate bill. This Reconciliation Bill does not have to be passed first, just signed first. So, in theory and if they have the votes anymore, both Houses of Congress will pass the Reconciliation Bill, then the House will pass the original Senate bill, and then both pieces of legislation would then be sent to the President for his signature. This is fine, so long as he signs the original Senate bill before he signs the Reconciliation Bill.
Ok..so the reconciliation bill has whatever modifications in it that “they” drew from Bos and the originial senate bill, as well as perhaps suggestions from the republicians?
Whose the “they” determining these modifications? and are the Rep’s sitting in on bringing that together before it’s taken to the house or senate?
