[quote=AN][quote=enron_by_the_sea][quote=AN]The other 2/3 have no room to complain about the bad budget from the other 1/3 if they haven’t passed one of their own. That’s the whole point of negotiation right? Put your budget on the table and see where they can come together?[/quote]

No, the President has presented budgets and while budget resolutions technically require only a majority vote, in order for the budget to take effect, it must survive a cloture vote on an identical bill passed in the House. It was effectively (though not technically) filibustered by Republicans in the Senate.
