H. Con. Res. 14 — Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025

Key claim: The FY2025 congressional budget resolution: agreed to by both chambers 10 April 2025, never presented to the President, and therefore not law. Its reconciliation instructions were carried out by an enacted law the corpus already holds — ‘An act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14’ — which makes this the one budget resolution whose follow-through is documented rather than pending.
