Perhaps, in your public school studies, they mentioned something called a "Constitution".

For a bill to become law, the exact same text needs to be passed by two houses of Congress.

Therefore, if the House passes an amended version of the Senate bill, the Senate would have to agree to that amendment exactly in order for the bill to become law.

Why do you have to act like a prick..? The point is the bill can’t be amended. It must be passed by the House ‘as is’ and so Pelosi et all are making promises to recalcitrant dems that what they want will be included AFTER Zero signs it into law but at that point there’s no longer any leverage so very few are believing what they’re selling. Now, I’ve been more than generous to you so don’t start in on your nastiness again. It’s bad enough dealing with the fing democrats. Thank you and have a nice evening. I mean it.

They're not though. They're going to be duped into passing the Senate bill as is and it'll be on Zero's desk within seconds.

There is no reconciliation whatsoever. It's a smoke screen.
