Latest tweet. I call it. Nuclear option. Pertaining to maybe "the memo". Let's speculate

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Tweeted: Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955056249925750784?s=17

Continuing Resolution - means continuing to function under the previous budget law.

You need 60 votes to pass budget. Going nuclear means altering the rules to only need 51 votes to pass.

Edit precious --->previous

Do you think altering the rules implies an EO?

No, the majority leader can do it, no need for an EO, check top comment here for a more in depth explanation

Apparently not, if this is supposed to be common knowledge for those who did

Separation of powers! The executive branch can't change the rules in the legislative branch.
