Non-binding Resolution?

[anawim]

The US House passed a non-binding budget resolution.

I'm trying to remember what the next steps are. Feel free to correct or confirm:

1) Compile a draft bill
2) Vote and send to the Senate
3) Senate makes changes and votes on those changes
4) Changes are sent back to the House who approves (or not) and sends it back to the Senate
5) Senate votes on the final bill
6) If it passes both chambers it goes to the president for a vote

Did I miss anything?

Maybe I should go watch SchoolHouse Rock

Don't think that the resolution has any connection (except as a proclamation of a position) to the actual budget process.

Well they need a budget, and a resolution serves the purpose of gaging what everyone wants, as well as what their constituents think. So the next step is to actually compile that bill.

Compiled largely, as I recall, by the CBO.

I thought that the CBO was responsible for estimates to the bill that the House submits, but that it still needs a bill introduced for them to provide that estimate.

It will be a decoration.

Just like Gramm-Rudman.
