Since Article I, section 7, which states that “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.” The key idea is that the Supreme Court recently upheld the individual mandate as a tax. But if the mandate is a tax, the PLF argues, then it is a bill for raising revenue. That means that the Affordable Care Act must have begun in the House of Representatives. And it did not.”

Therefore when the bill returns back to Boehner, Reid will have violated Article 1 Section 7 ... which is unconstitutional.

The “PLF” referred to in my post is the “Pacific Legal Foundation” whose ideas and arguments I incorporated in my post, I did not mean to not acknowledge attribution.
