Wait a second.. how is this heading to the Senate after failing in Congress?

0 votes

I may just be a bill on capital hill but I don't think this is the way it is supposed to work.

How are they able to do this??

I believe

it bounces back. If it's shot down in the House it then goes to Senate. If Senate passes it, it bounces back to the House for re-vote to see if they'll agree w/ Senate this time. That's how i interpreted it anyways.

Senate re-writing the bill!!! Civics 101

The Senate is re-writing the bill....voting on it...and if it passes...they will then pass it down to the house.....

Legislation can originate in either house or senate.....

Dumb question

Do they just keep rewriting and rewriting until it gets passed?

Sounds like taxation without representation

The people made their desires loud and clear.

Clearly, the people have no representation...yet are taxed.

That's taxation without representation.

On election day, vote by buying a gun.

It's been this way for awhile

You think the elections are real? You're living in Disneyland if you do. That's just the tip of the iceberg....

"The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore the soul deceives and despises."

I agree 100%

Known this for a long time...but the people seem so unwilling to actually do something real...thus the gun reference.

They are attaching it to an energy bill.

Seems to me that if we want to take power away from the elite who benefit from the Federal government, then people need to stop holding and investing in T-bills and put wealth in their own bank. An investment in T-bills empowers the elitists controlling the Federal government. Remember T-bills are just paper, just like FRNs. Withdrawling our investment is their biggest fear. Holding onto T-bills locks up dollars as they say. I suggest investing in something other than T-bills such as physical food, supplies, silver and gold. These items stimulate our economy and the individual is empowered. But, what the hell do I know?
grant

How

How can they just attach it to another bill? If they started out as two separate bills and they're about completely different things how can they just attach them together like that? That's so seedy and slimey.

Just called Rep. Akin who voted no on Monday

If it passes the Senate, it comes back to the House for a vote. I asked whether it would be a floor vote or go to resolution committee. She said it would be a floor vote, and that it would be recorded. I asked if Rep. Akin would still vote no, and she said it depends on what comes out of the Senate, but if it's the same thing as Monday, yes he would still vote no. She couldn't tell me if the House "no" caucus had grown or shrunk since Monday.

These SOBs

These SOBs are enemies of the people of this nation. What are we now going to do about this. Are they to get away with treason and robbery and just laugh about it?
I am PISSED!

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

Wouldn't it still have to get passed by the House?

Or go to the Resolution Committee?

If it is attached to a passed bill, is it over?

Is the bill still approved? Or do they need to revote because it was amended?

Don't they have to vote or something to amend a bill?

WHO attached it to the passed bill?

We need names...so we can make examples out of them.

We need to let politicians, aides, etc. know that all actions against the people will be accounted for.

So WHO attached this bailout crap to the bill?

Biden, McCain and Obama at bailout vote tonight!

Let's make sure they know what they're up against!

Because they are claiming

Because they are claiming that it is not a "spending bill" its simply an amendment to another bill that already passed...

That's the vehicle.

I know, Yesterday I was saying "Now the whole song

makes no sense". Remember ole' Bill saying if he didn't pass the House, he would be Dead, yah Dead. And the he says it could take a long time to get to senate if he did pass. God I wish I could animate, "I am Bully the Bill, oh yeah I'm Bully the Bill and I don't care what they say on capitol hill. I will be a law whether they like it not. I will destroy this country and leave it to rot. I know that I will, but for now I am still just a bill."

Your right

This is not how it is supposed to work but they are adding it on to another bill, that was also voted down by the house, to get around that small problem.

Bailout attached to a bill?!

Why would they attach the bailout to a bill that was rejected by the house? How is it that the senate votes on bills that didn't even pass the House? Silly me that I could believe that our elected Senators actually follow rules, but it doesn't make sense

IF THEY DO THIS let's bring

IF THEY DO THIS let's bring them to their knees with a national strike to continue until and unless they revoke the bill.

I knew there had to be some sneaky, back door way...

They'll eventually get this through when no one is looking.

All we can do is hold all those responsible who vote for it.

I know we've been trying to get Lautenberg out of NJ for quite a while. Very difficult to get out entrenched, social-handout politicians in a state such as this.

Article I Section 7All

Article I Section 7
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Yep, you right - goes back to the house.

The bill failed by a small margin, the Senate and the Executive Branch are now joining to put maximum pressure on the dissenting votes in the house. The IMF, Federal Reserve, Executive, Treasury and the Senate. Man, we better stand strong and serious on this one all the way - I think its time to remove Representatives and Senators from office (I mean fired immediately for ignoring the will of the people! Not with the limited power at the specific alloted term limit. Thousands of calls, emails and faxes shook it up pretty good - image what firing the suckers would do!!! - yeah buddy.)

They got around this by

They got around this by claiming that the bill IS NOT a revenue or spending bill".

It's about Taxes

Anything to do with taxes must be introduced in the House. But the Senate can just add it on to another bill to get around this Law.
