During the debate before the vote to remove McCarthy as Speaker of the House, Gaetz made a big stink about perpetually using CRs and omnibus appropriation bills to fund the government, rather than passing a full budget.
The current CR expires November 17th. Gaetz seems to really want to stop using the CR or omnibus appropriation bill and return to funding the government via a full budget. I guess he would make it a requirement for any speaker candidate. A full budget hasn't passed since 1997.
Will Gaetz get his wish?
Resolves YES if the US passes a full budget to fund the government before 2025.
Here are the definitions for each according to ChatGPT and what I'll use to resolve this market:
A full budget process involves passing a budget resolution followed by 12 individual appropriations bills, each funding different parts of the government. These bills go through committee reviews, amendments, and votes in both the House and Senate.
Continuing resolutions (CRs) are temporary measures that extend funding at current or specified levels for a set period, bypassing the detailed review process.
Omnibus bills combine multiple appropriations bills into one larger bill, which is negotiated and passed as a single package.
