I read the Constitution and Article 1 Section 7: All Bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives;
Simple not complex sentence with an easy to understand meaning.
But the Senate Bill that the House is supposed to vote on contains billions in taxes, all of which originated in the Senate. So the first question is how is this Constitutional.
We all know how we got here, a Senate Bill passed that was meant for a conference committee, the plan to merge the House and Senate Bills was destroyed by the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts, a conference committee Bill then became impossible. So the process got short circuited.
And now we are stuck with an unconstitutional Bill. Seems like the Senate Bill needs to either be tossed or sent to conference for a new merged Bill.
So where does this go wrong, isn’t it unconstitutional to send this Bill to the president for signature into law? Seems like a pretty cut and dried not going to work proposition.
