- mikeocool 1y agoThe majority gets to block any bill they want by not bringing it to the floor. The minority can only block bills by not allowing them to get to 60 votes. Budgets are a little different, since you kind of have to pass one to have a functioning government — so you need to build a 60 vote coalition, and since the majority proposes the bill it’s up to them to offer a budget that builds that coalition.
