    I’m all for something like this but I would never assume the GOP wouldn’t go nuclear like this just to kick out a Democrat they really dislike or time it when they think it’s most advantageous (e.g. just after a redistricting).

    The rule should probably be that failure to pass a bill means current funding is extended for 3 months with an increase based on inflation.
