" The policy of the House, according to the report, has been to interpret "any meaningful revenue proposal" as subject to the origination clause "

Lets hope they stick with precident & the Constitution on this one.

Pesky little problem, the constitution, Harry Reid notwithstanding.

They didn't do it in the early/mid 1980s. Senator Robert Dole created a revenue bill. It became law.

I even remember that it allowed the FAA(?) to increase a tax. The problem was, the FAA started collecting it before the
bill became law. "We expect the bill to pass..."

It was *only* for a couple of days, but the FAA had no authority to extract that money before it was the law.
