how can his bill be passed by reconciliation?

Seems like it should be considered a new bill. Any opportunity to call for a point of order on this?

I believe so, but (for the most part) those are decided by a simple majority. A point of order known as a "budget point of order" requires 3/5ths to pass, but that style of point of order lies only when spending under the budget exceeds the budgeted allocation (or something like that).
