Reconciliation is a procedure that expedites the passage of certain budgetary legislation in the Senate. The Senate filibuster effectively requires a 60-vote super-majority for the passage of most legislation in the Senate, but reconciliation provides a process to prevent the use of the filibuster and thereby allow the passage of a bill with simple majority support in the Senate.
Reconciliation bills can be passed on spending, revenue, and the federal debt limit, and the Senate can pass one bill per year affecting each subject.
I’m not the guy you replied to, but I don’t know what a reconciliation bill is. Can you explain?

Thank you for the reply and explanation!
