was the “Origination Clause”.

You mean where the House sent Reid a bill, he stripped every word out of it, inserted 2500 pages of zerocare? I’ve always wondered why that was able to stand.

[X-spurt]

Exactly!
It can only stand until someone with standing works it though the Courts and up to the SCOTUS. Then is when the Origination Clause SHTF. That is precisely why nobama and dingy harry wanted to be able to load the Court (semi-nuke option - simple majority in confirming Fed Judges), to slow down the court process.

Remember the SCOTUS can not initiate, even though they may well see the fly in the ointment, it has to come from someone affected and up through the Court system.
