   Same as Obamacare. It is a tax and originated in the senate but no one has the spine to challenge it.

   Absolutely! Notice how the senate always tries to start anything that is supposed to begin with the House, if it involves funding! Reid has no shame and will try every trick in the book!

   Mr Boehner, this can be solved quickly…since the senate is NOT legally able to start anything here…just like they tried to start the funding with the O-Care!

   There is No US law that prohibits legislation from starting in the Senate instead of the House as some of you have suggested.

   There are some on this cite who are misreading the origination clause which establishes where bills may begin and therefore believe that the origination clause says that all bills must begin in the House and may not begin in the Senate.

   However, the Origination Clause stemmed from an English parliamentary practice that all money bills must have their first reading in the House of Commons. It was intended to ensure that the “power of the purse” lies with the legislative body most responsive to the people.

   Nevertheless the Origination Clause of the US Constitution does not prohibit bills that have nothing to do with taxes or the raising of revenue such as the Amnesty Bill from originating in either house of Congress.

   Another way to tell that bills may be originated in either House of Congress be it the House or the Senate is by reading Section seven Clause 8.2 of the US Constitution which mandates that if the President does not approve of a proposed bill he must return it NOT TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES but rather to the House of Congress that it originated in.

   SEE Section 7 Clause 8.2 of Article I of the US Constitution which states —

   “Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to (that House in which it shall have originated…,)”

   For those who believe that the Amnesty Bill is a Tax, lets look at the facts-

   The bill does not contain a requirement that illegal immigrants pay back taxes for the many years they have been working off the books. The only requirement in the bill is that illegal immigrants must iron out any existing problems they may have with the IRS.

   Also, The bill also does not require employers of illegal immigrants to pay FICA taxes for the years they paid illegal immigrants under the table.

   The bill merely states that if the illegal immigrant has been previously audited by the IRS and the IRS has already demanded payment, the payment must be made before amnesty is granted.

   Hence, it is highly unlikely that an argument that the bill is a tax would prevail.

   VIP is an Obot here to stir the pot. That “Caution” sign looks just like the ones all along the east – west border roads in Texas except the ones I’ve seen they’re wearing sombreros!

    I don’t know about the Amnesty Bill but the Obamacare Bill is being litigated since it’s now been deemed a tax:
