To: Second Amendment First

Seeing how this bill originated in the Senate instead of the House, how can it possibly become law?

Technically, the bill originated in the House, which passed the Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2010. That House bill was then taken up by the Senate, which amended it to (i) eliminate all of the airport language and (ii) add all of the income-tax rate, estate tax, social security tax and unemployment paymeng language. The bill then went back to the House, which last night voted to approve the Senate amendment that did all that.

So, due to this shell game, the link showing how everyone voted last night did not have the incorrect bill name, and the tax bill did “originate” in the House as required by the Constitution.
