US EditionSome SNAP, Immigration Reforms in 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Partially Overruled
- On May 22, the U.S. House narrowly approved a comprehensive tax and spending package known as the OBBBA, passing the measure by a 215-214 party-line vote.
- The bill, intended to promote President Trump’s priorities on taxation and immigration by using the budget reconciliation process, faces obstacles after Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough disallowed key sections to ensure adherence to the Byrd Rule.
- MacDonough's rulings removed measures including cuts to SNAP benefits for noncitizens and reductions in Federal Reserve staff pay, threatening Republican support among conservatives demanding deeper spending cuts.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit funding increased modestly in the bill despite criticisms labeling it as costly and ineffective, with about 3.7 million subsidized units built and typical costs exceeding $700,000 per unit.
- The parliamentary rulings and internal dissent may complicate Senate passage before the July 4 recess, indicating potential last-minute changes driven by a small group of Republican senators seeking stronger spending reductions.
