You mean this abomination?
That faggot won’t do any such thing. The chair needs to be vacated. McCarthy has already broken too many promises.

Under the Constitution, appropriations measures are required to originate in the House, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is looking for a legislative workaround.
Yesterday, he announced on the Senate floor that he’d filed cloture on a bill already passed by the House reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, which could be amended to extend the government’s spending authority temporarily.
“As I have said for months, we must work in a bipartisan fashion to keep our government open, avoid a shutdown, and avoid inflicting unnecessary pain on the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “This action will give the Senate the option to do just that.”
“The way this will end, in all likelihood, is the Senate will pass a bill with over 70 votes that will fund the government, provide for some disaster assistance, and also provide for some Ukraine funding, and then they'll send it over to the U.S. House,” former Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent suggested on CNN. “And then that's when the speaker has to make a decision. If he puts that bill on the floor, it will pass with a strong bipartisan majority, and of course, then, the hardliners who are torturing him right now, will then move to vacate.”
McCarthy may be forced to choose between his speakership or an economic and politically costly shutdown. “You have Senate Republicans and Democrats united, House Democrats are aligned with the Senate and the president, and it is really just a handful of House Republicans who are going to cause this shutdown,” Dent said...

Pretty much. McCarthy should announce that any such abomination sent over from the Senate will be DOA and won’t even be brought to the floor. He promised us no more CRs and no more Omnibus bills.
If he fails to follow through on that a Motion To Vacate should be filed immediately.

Since McCarthy appears to be on the Payroll of the White House Bribery Fund, Schmucky has a good chance of ramming this thru.

That clause is dead in the Constitution.Republicans went to the Supreme Court to protest that ObamaCare originated in the Senate when Democrats amended a House bill called "Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009" (H.R.3590 - 111th Congress) to gut it entirely and insert Obamacare into it before sending it back to the House. The Senate effectively turned the House bill into an empty container to get around the Origination clause.
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
No, he can retain his speakership and avoid a costly wasteful spending bill.

Yep. So much for bipartisian process.
The Dems will roll the Republicans again because the voters want more largess from the Treasury. Doesn’t matter that there’s no money there and the interest on the Debt exceeds $1T.
Dems say, ‘We owe that money to ourselves.’ What does that mean?
MUST KEEP... GOVERNMENT.... OPEN!
Why?
They shut everyone down when a bad cold broke out.
What makes them so much more important than us?
it’s a circle...this origination thing is the entry into the record and it is always from the house
Work together for the country , nope look for a workaround to Screw the country
If the Senate changes a single word in any House approved bill that was sent to them, the bill must be returned to the House for final passage.

However, SCOTUS refused to hear the challenge to the origination clause when it was Obamacare that was inserted into a gutted veterans' tax bill.
Score one for Obama for fundamentally transforming the role of the Senate again, after McConnell inverted the treaty clause so Obama can get his Iran deal through.

Isn’t this how we got Obamacare ?
To add to that, Kevin should hit all of the Sunday shows and loudly explain that Schumer is shutting down the FAA only to get more money for Ukraine.
The House approved the funding and Chucky wants to lard it up with pork. Make the Senate vote on a clean FAA bill.

The premise is nonense. (1) Spending bills have to originate in the House, not the Senate, and (2) instead of voting at all on Schumer’s bill, the House can send a different bill back to the Senate and then a House-Senate conference committee will have to devise a bill that would have to be acted on by both chambers.
I seem to recall with Obamacare, one the Houses “deemed” it to have been passed...
” and avoid inflicting unnecessary pain on the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “
sucking the American people dry and causing them pain is exactly what Schumer’s life has been about.
