Biden Thread

[Hooahguy]

Yo, Pelosi shepherded the $3.5 billion bill (albeit only to the drafting stage) with zero defections, not even among the conservative pecksniffs I posted about earlier in the month. If the hostage-taking with the compromise bill can get it past Sinema and Manchin largely-intact, that would be a genuine victory. I forget, does the legislative session expire in only a month (fiscal year ending Sept. 30) or in December?

Every 2 year block of time is a new Congress. We are currently in the 117th Congress. The two years are split into two sessions, with each session ending at in December of that year. Bills introduced in the first session are still "live" through the second session. Bills only "die" when the second session end, so in our case it would be December 2022. However momentum is a thing so its hard to say what will happen.
