Congressional Reconcilation Process Question

Does any one know or is anyone at least familiar with how the reconciliation process works? Each house has a version. What is the process by which they become 1 bill that is to be put forth for signing by the executive?

if both houses bill passes, and if the versions are different. they meet in a committee like setting. they send delgates/representatives from each house and they meet to hash out the differences.

once the differences are resolved. the bill goes back to the house and house for ratification

The Senate bill and the House bill are figuratively placed side by side. Everything that they agree on will go in the compromise bill. Everything that they don't agree on will be haggled back and forth until they come up with a compromise. That compromise will be revealed to those who might object. They will provide their input and more haggling will ensue. At the end, the get a reconciled bill that at least 50 Senators and 217 House members will vote in favor of. Since it is a budget bill (of a sorts) there is no need to have a 60 vote majority in the Senate. A straight 50 (plus the VP) will do the job. The bill then goes to Trump as ONE MORE legislative accomplishment that the mainstream media will try to ignore.

It will get plenty of press and will knock out Congressional members in 2018 like Obamacare did in 2010.

I'll see more money in February?

That's what Twitler promised!

YAY!

(we'll see in February...)

The new Democratic Congress will be left to deal with yet another idiotic mess.
