    How would requiring a supermajority vote to cut Medicaid or SNAP benefits affect Congress's ability to address federal budget deficits through spending reductions?

  2. 02

    What specific circumstances might justify overriding this restriction before January 2029, and who should decide when that threshold is met?

  3. 03
