Lidane posted a link to this craziness on the previous thread:

The bill, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act, declares that the House’s budget proposal (HR1) will become law if the Senate does not pass a budget to fund the federal government for the rest of the year before April 6th. House leadership seemed to have inadvertently ignored the fact that the phrase “become law” contains the concepts “has been passed by the House” and “has been passed by the Senate”. The implication of the measure’s language was that the Senate would pass the House’s budget if it did not pass a budget, or that if the Senate did not pass a budget then the Senate would have passed the House’s budget. http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/03/budget_follies


Nice work, Boehner!
