A budget resolution is always the required precursor to budget reconciliation bills.

The law requires both chambers to adopt a joint blueprint with “instructions” to draft what would ultimately be stitched together as a reconciliation bill.

Under Senate parliamentary guidance from 2001 , there’s a “ three bites at the apple” precedent: Each budget resolution can only produce one bill for each of the three categories allowed.

House and Senate Republicans dropped the multiple tax bill framework from the final budget resolution for fiscal 2002 , paving the way for the a single measure which became the first major tax cut Bush signed in June 2001 .

Only once since then have lawmakers enacted two budget reconciliation bills out of the same budget resolution — in 2006 .
