    Lack of supply is where the head of government does not have the votes to pass budgetary or essential legislative measures. In Westminster systems it usually results in a no-confidence vote and either a replacement Prime Minister or a new election (and is usually because a minor party or faction decided to jump ship.)

    Abuse of it was how they Coup'd Whitlam.

    It seems to be you can No-confidence the head of government in NY via simple majority but not at the Federal level?

      Ah. I see the point of confusion now.

      Lack of supply is where the head of government does not have the votes to pass budgetary or essential legislative measures.

      For the Democrats that's the absolute sweet spot. Nothing makes them happier to do nothing and then shrug and point fingers. See: the legislative philosophy of the entire Biden administration.
