@charliespiering How does one shut down the government by passing a budget? Please outline with charts.

@ThePeoplesBacon @charliespiering well, budget != authorization and appropriation leg enacted.

@TurgidJacobian @charliespiering That's specifically not a shutdown. If a budget is vetoed or otherwise rejected,the shutdown it theirs.

@ThePeoplesBacon @charliespiering I just don't get what you're trying to say here, sorry for interjecting.

@TurgidJacobian @charliespiering If congress passes a budget or a CR, they didn't shut down the government. They provided a way forward.

@ThePeoplesBacon @charliespiering I understand that a) budget binds congress, and neither auths not appropriates b) cr is a form of approp

@TurgidJacobian @charliespiering The point being, passing a budget the executive branch won't sign isn't shutting down the government.

@ThePeoplesBacon @charliespiering that makes sense, sure.
