What say you?
And what if it fails in the hose at around 11:00 pm tonight?
Now, that would be a show worth watching.
Of course it is. Like anyone in Washington cares, though.
If all GOP House members vote NO, will the bill pass?
Yes and so was Obamacare. If the GOP leadership had any balls, the response would be ... any and all revenue bills MUST come from the House as per the Constitution. Since Mr. Reid is attempting an unconstitutional power play, the bill will NOT be accepted.
0bamacare is said to be unconstitutional due precisely to that issue.
Fat lot of difference it makes.
Constitution? Laws? You must be mistaken. This is the Communist States of America, soon to be destroyed. Khrushchev was right - the communists will take over without firing a shot!
The Constitution was written in Olde English over a hundred years ago. Nobody can understand it.
“Is Reid’s move unconstitutional?”
No. The Constitutional power of the purse was given to the rats by the House, by not forcing a required yearly budget from the Senate. Instead the House allowed CR’s for the last 4 years to be common place. Pls correct me if I am wrong. This is my understanding.
Article 1, Section 7 states “All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other bills.” To my thinking “raising revenue” means imposing taxes, fees, duties, etc. It does not mean spending monies. It does not mean increasing the debt limit. Therefore, it is irrelevant which chamber this bill originated in (unless it raises revenue).
That is no longer the case.
