THAT’S IT!!

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

FIRST BILLS BEGIN IN THE HOUSE. TO BE APPROVED OR NOT BY SENATE THEN SENT TO PRESIDENT.

TOOK ME A YEAR TO GET THAT AND THE OTHER FINE POINTS DOWN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WERE DRAFTING A BILL TO STOP TRUMP’S EO, WHICH THE PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE HAD TO SIGN OFF ON IF IT WASN’T VETO PROOF!!

NOW THE SENATE CAN SEND BILLS TO THE HOUSE!?!?!?

@#$@#$!!!

Only tax and spending bills have to start in the House. Bills dealing with other matters can start in the Senate.

How a Bill Becomes a Law

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Time to brush up on civics, dp. REVENUE bills must originate in the House. Bills originate from several different sources, but primarily from individual members of Congress. In addition, bills might be brought to a member by a constituent or by a group of constituents; a bill can be submitted to a member of Congress by one or more state legislatures; or the President or his administration might suggest a bill. However it is brought to the attention of a member, a bill must be submitted for consideration by the member. In the House, Representatives need merely drop a copy of a bill into a bin specifically placed to receive new bills. In the Senate, the bill is given to a clerk at the President's desk. Bills can be introduced in either house, though as noted above, a bill must eventually pass both houses to become law. The exception to this is that bills for raising revenue must originate in the House, and never in the Senate.

The Missouri Dept of Conservation has established many (like 50 or so) shooting ranges throughout the state. The one nearest me is free. All I have to do is drive there. Some do charge a fee. It is nice to live in a gun-friendly state.
