The Senate released a budget resolution on April 2 as part of a compromise with the House of Representatives, as Republicans look to enact President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Both houses of Congress must pass an identical budget resolution to begin the process called budget reconciliation. This mechanism allows for measures related to taxing, spending, and the national debt to pass without facing the 60-vote filibuster threshold in the Senate that applies to most legislation.
