I thought everything was suppose to come from the House?
Everything regarding expenditure of funds has to originate in the house. This is stripping away rights so either body can originate it.
[I thought everything was suppose to come from the House? ]
Budget and spending bills are supposed to originate in House.
Anyone know if this is DOA if it gets past Senate?
I can’t figure that out either. I thought it had to originate in the House.
From the article:
“Murphy said Senate leadership agreed to allow a vote on legislation from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would let the government bar sales of guns and explosives to people it suspects of being terrorists.
Feinstein offered the amendment in December, a day after an extremist couple killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, but the Republican-run Senate rejected the proposal on a near party-line vote. He said the compromise also will allow a vote on an amendment to expand background checks.”
I thought it was only spending bills that had to originate in the House but it’s been a while since I really thought about it.
