Help!
I'm not sure that my question is appropriate at TFL, but please, would some of you lawyer type constitutional experts straighten me out, before locking this down? Please. Thanks in advance.
The Senate healthcare bill contains provisions for "raising Revenue".
Article I, Section 7 (in its entirety), of the United States Constitution 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."
This bill containing revenue parts originated not in the House but in the Senate. Is there a constitutional issue with this?
