Does sound unconstitutional to me. Would like to hear from a Constitutional lawyer on this one.
Can the Senate even set rules for the House to follow? I think not.
I’m an attorney; I don’t specialize in Constitutional Law but I’ve got a good understanding. See Comment 6. It’s not valid.
The House has the power of the purse, if they wish they can defund the entire thing and there is not a single thing that can be done about it.
This language is funny as it attempts to use the Senate as a arbiter of the Constitution, and it was never meant to be so, because one legislative body passes a law, a future one may then repeal it no matter the language in the original law.
