Congress Needs to Address Key Differences in Trump’s Major Bill
The Senate has wrapped up its review of President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion, 940-page agenda bill. This legislation is now set to return to the House of Representatives for further alignment before it can be signed by the president.
Initially passed by the House in May by a narrow margin, the bill must go back through the Chamber of Commerce due to significant amendments made in the Senate. The adjustments raise questions about whether to stick to stringent protocols for the budget adjustment process, particularly concerning the “bird bus” process.
