“For those of you that read the Constitution noting all legislation must originate in the congress - u outta luck.”

Laws must be originally passed by Congress but it doesn’t mean it must originally write the proposed bills. In fact this rarely happens at any level of government. Special interest groups, including the Administrations, write proposed bills which are then passed on to legislators who are willing water-carriers for the bill. Politicians are not bill writers. Their forte is schmoozing for sponsors and votes and accepting bribes in the form of votes from them for another legislator’s pet bills, votes for them, or “other benefits” measurable and unmeasurable.

Has this stopped Obama yet?
He has managed to shred the constitution page by page and the congress is not only allowing it, they are burning the pieces.
