Kennedy Urges GOP To Use Budget Reconciliation To Pass SAVE Act

— a parliamentary process created under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 that allows certain budget-related legislation to pass with just 50 votes plus the vice president.

“That’s how we passed the one big, beautiful bill,” Kennedy said, referencing prior GOP legislation enacted over Democratic opposition. He also noted that Democrats used reconciliation in 2021 to pass the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan on a party-line vote.

That means, if structured properly, the bill could pass with unified Republican support and a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance
