No. The Senate has already passed it’s version of the bill. If the House passes the same exact version, i.e., the Slaughter Rule of deeming that the House has passed it, then there is no need to go back to the Senate for another vote. The only thing that goes back to the senate for a vote is the reconciliation bill that contains changes to the Senate bill. Obama can immediately sign the Senate bill after the House vote.
You mean when the house deems on it.
The constitutionality of joining together two bills for one vote, then splitting them apart again is being questioned by scholars. There is not precedent for this, apparently.
By approving both with one vote, some say, the bill is considered changed immediately and therefore, the amended bill must go back to the Senate.
In other cases where Demon Pass was used, it was one vote on one bill/amendment, not one vote which sufficed for two separate bills/amendments.
You can imagine the can of worms this would open up if once passed, parts of bills could just be cherry picked out and sent to the President for signing, while other parts go back to the Senate black hole. That’s what they will be doing here. Joining two bills together for one vote, then cherry picking the part that has already passed the Senate and sending it to the President.
So what are they voting for tomorrow if they already “deemed” the Senate bill passed by the House? This is so confusing to me.
