name, "The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," violates budget rules, according to the
office of Senate Budget Committee ranking member Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
The title was found to violate the "Byrd rule" that applies to bills moving
under the "budget reconciliation" process that allows legislation to avoid a
Democratic filibuster in the Senate. Under the rule, reconciliation bills
can't include provisions that don't have an impact on the budget.
"The short title has no budgetary impact," said Sanders spokesman Josh
Miller-Lewis. "They have to strike it and use the official title: 'An Act to
provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018.' "
A spokesman for McConnell, Don Stewart, criticized Democrats for raising an
issue with the name.
"Democrats want to use the Byrd Rule to strike the title of the bill. I'm
not kidding," he said on Twitter. "But that won't stop tax relief for people
in their states." | A**d
