Budget reconciliation

Budget reconciliation is a legislative process in the U.S. Congress that allows for the quick approval of budget-related laws by reducing the need for lengthy debates and a filibuster in the Senate. It enables certain budget changes—like adjusting taxes or spending—to be passed with a simple majority rather than the usual 60 votes. Reconciliation is often used to implement budget plans and policy priorities efficiently, ensuring that fiscal measures align with the federal budget goals while streamlining legislative approval for financial legislation.
