Budget Reconciliation And Appropriations
Much of the work is happening behind the scenes, with the two major focuses of work being Budget reconciliation and Appropriations.
Budget Reconciliation: a two-step process by which the House and Senate coordinate a legislative package that can address spending, revenue, and the debt limit.
Appropriations: another thorny issue. Congress should have enacted spending bills for Fiscal Year 2025, which began October 1, 2024, but instead they passed a Continuing Resolution (often called a “CR”).
The Major Legislative Action In Congress This Week Are Votes On Trump’s Cabinet Nominees
It is likely that we will see votes on Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of National Intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy to lead Health and Human Services. We also may see votes on Howard Lutnick to serve as head of the Department of Commerce, Brooke Rollings as secretary of Agriculture, and Kelly Loeller as head of the Small Business Administration.
