Short answer: No. No need for "reconciliation" if the House rubber-stamps the bill and sends it straight to the President's desk.

But my understanding of this reconciliation scheme is that it can only be used on a bill that has passed the House and the Senate. That means the House MUST PASS THE SENATE BILL AT SOME POINT.

Isn't that true?

If the House and Senate pass the exact same bill, then it’s game over and on to the President. No further Legislative action. That’s not rules, that’s in the Constitution.
