Per the Constitution, any bill that originates and passes in the House, also need to be passed by the Senate.

Republicans control only the House, not the Senate. Thusly 1/2 of one branch of gov’t

Well call me stupid I guess.
White House 1/3
Senate 1/3
House 1/3

If Boehner can get the GOP to stand together (all 241 or 242 - whatever is the accurate count) then the GOP has control of 100% of the House and any appropriation bill will be passed.

What is the 1/2 of 1/3 ---I JUST DON'T GET WHAT IT MEANS?
