Boehner could argue that it's unconstitutional for the Senate to do that. Spending must originate in the House. Reid cannot add amendments to fund.

It was a different matter to remove an amendment that positively defunded something. It's another matter to add an amendment to fund something.

The whole damn ACA is unconstitutional from the onset.

The senate stripped the language from a House bill
and substituted the language of obamacare in its place.
That bill, according to the supreme court, included a “tax”.
ALL bills to raise revenue MUST be initiated in the House.

Any House vote to support or fund obamacare in any way
is a vote for an unconstitutional bill.
