The Congressional Budget Act typically allows for up to three reconciliation bills per fiscal year, corresponding to three main budgetary categories: Spending, Revenue, and the Debt limit. However, in practice, Congress often combines these into a single reconciliation bill, though it’s possible to have separate bills for each category.
Mmhmm. Did you chatgpt/grok this? And this AI regulation falls under money, how? Exactly?
Yes I grokked the part that looks intelligent. I knew most of it already - what a reconciliation is, why, and roughly how many (I thought 2 per year - turns out it's 3). I just didn't want to try to explain it myself. I normally put something like "this is what grok said" but was in a hurry and missed it this time.
What bothers me is the rule was written by Senator Robert Byrd - as in KKK Byrd, Hillary's mentor. I went to look it up to make sure it was the same Byrd, and Grok actually gave me more info that helps answer your AI question.
Note - It is just my guess, but I think the repubs tried to add in the AI thing hoping the demons wouldn't read all of the bill and they would fly right through. Now they will simply raise a point-of-order and defeat that. They can't do the same to the Hearing Act part of the BBB where firearm suppressors (silencers) will be reclassified as simple firearms, won't require a $200 tax stamp, and are no longer NFA. Anyone authorized to own a firearm will be able to get a suppressor the same way they purchase a gun - fill out the form for the NICS check and be done. Since the BBB removes the $200 tax stamp it is within the requirements for a reconciliation bill.
Grok:
Senator Robert C. Byrd wrote and was the principal sponsor of the Byrd Rule in the U.S. Senate, which governs the budget reconciliation process. The rule was first adopted in 1985 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and later made permanent in 1990 as Section 313 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. It was named after Byrd, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, who introduced it to limit the inclusion of "extraneous" provisions in reconciliation bills—those that do not directly affect federal spending, revenue, or the debt limit. The rule ensures reconciliation bills, which can pass with a simple majority and avoid a filibuster, stay focused on budgetary matters. It allows senators to raise a point of order against non-budgetary provisions, which can be struck unless 60 senators vote to waive the rule. The Byrd Rule was a response to reconciliation bills in the early 1980s that included unrelated policies, such as reducing the number of Federal Communications Commission members.

They need to circumvent the filibuster.
That isn't what I asked you.
