Maybe I missed something. I thought spending bills originated in the House. Once passed out of the house the bill goes to the Senate. The Senate then considers the House bill and, if differences arise, the House and Senate form a conference committee to iron out the differences. The compromise bill is then voted on by the House and the Senate. Upon passage by the House and Senate the bill is sent to the president for approval or veto. Am I wrong about how this process is supposed to work?

Dude, that’s so 1980s...
This is 2015; get with the program!

The Executive Branch and the Senate don’t need no steenkin Constitution. Glad the GOP is back in charge. Those RINOs are sure making a huge difference!

That is exactly what I was taught in school, but I have heard from my grandchildren that congressional procedure is no longer taught in school.

You're right rhetorically about the process but IMPROVISING things to fit their OWN political agenda has become the order of the day in Washington D.C.

America can NEVER be restored as long as this continues.
