Ok. Dumb this down to my level......if the house passes this bill, it has to go through the Senate first. If the House had passed the bill straight out of the Senate, then it would go straight to the president’s desk. So by posting this bill it’s good news, because there’s still the Senate to get through.
Bumping what you said. I was at a rally Michele Bachmann spoke at on Saturday. Sounds like they’re muddling everything the Constitution requires such as an aye or nay vote. I hate these liars.
Let me preface this by saying - this is what the Dems intend to do. I'm not saying this is Constitutional or will pass parliamentary muster, just that these are their intentions...
They've posted their proposed Reconciliation Bill. This bill will have to make it through the House Ways & Means (or perhpas finance, I'm not sure) comittee. Then, after some changes are presumably made, it will be brought to the House floor without debate, for an up or down vote - that is within the power of the Speaker. This reconciliation bill, when it comes to the House floor, will contain - in theory - a self-executing rule that will deem the original Senate Health Care bill passed by the House when the Reconciliation Bill is passed. That original health care bill (H.R. 3590) will then travel to the president's desk.
In the meantime, this Reconciliation bill will travel to the Senate where it will go through the Reconciliation Bill. After they clear the blood from the Parliamentarian's office, the Senate will vote on this Reconciliation Bill, and it will then be sent to the President for his signature. With it's passing and signing into law, the Reconciliation Bill make - again, in theory - changes to the original Senate bill (H.R. 3590), that the House liberal Democrats didn't like - like the Cadillac Tax, for instance.
