I am no lawyer. But it seems to me that attaching another bill to fix the Senate Bill would functionally be the same as passing a bill with amendments. That would make the two bills passed to fail the identical bill test. The whole package would then have to be passed by the Senate before the President could sign it. I would think that House and Senate Republicans would file suit and ask for a Supreme Court ruling on the matter.

exactly, this is going to the USSC for sure, and I am SO glad the zero has pissed off and alienated them recently :P

IIRC they have already passed bills like this with this “self-executing” rule, e. g. PAYGO plus raising the debt ceiling. I’m not sure whether the house or senate voted last.
