Republicans plan to use the powerful parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation in their annual budget though lawmakers say they are unsure for what.
I expect well do some reconciliation, though Im not prepared to speculate on how, Sen. Jeff Sessions, a Republican on the chambers budget committee, said on Wednesday.

People have ideas but havent settled on a plan, said Sen. Ron Johnson, another Republican budgeteer. Not yet.
One leading contender is reserving the technique, which short circuits filibusters in the Senate by letting tax and spending bills pass with a majority vote, to move any legislative response needed to a Supreme Court decision unraveling the Affordable Care Act. The court is expected to decide the case, King v. Burwell, in late June.
The court is considering complaints that the law does not permit the administration to provide health insurance subsidies in states that did not set up their own exchanges. A ruling against the administration could cut off financial assistance to as many as 8 million Americans, creating chaos in the program and demanding a quick legislative fix from Congress.
Whatever our reaction to that Supreme Court decision, that might be something that we want to set ourselves up getting passed through reconciliation, said Johnson.
Another less likely possibility is tax reform, though Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch opposes the idea, and many Republicans want bipartisan cover for any overhaul.
Reconciliation is controversial because it sidelines the minority party in the Senate and has a history of being used to muscle through partisan policies including Obamacare itself and the Bush-era tax cuts.
