ObamaCare bill history in the House and Senate
>>4315867 @DJT on Obamacare being struck down as UNCONSTITUTIONAL (pb #5499)
>>4315306 TX judge rules v. ObamaCare (pb #5499)
Obamacare violated the US Constitution in that bills of revenue must originate in the House. The bill was introduced and passed in the House as H.R. 3590 Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009. Upon being sent to committee in the Senate, the entire bill text except the purpose was replaced by amendment SA 2786. The title was then amended by reconciliation after passing in the Senate. The action of Pelosi, Reid and Chief Justice Kennedy blatantly violated the intent of the US Constitution as the bill that originated in the House was replaced by amendment with a revenue bill that originated in the Senate.
Govtrack provides a good history of the bill text and provides the following summary Feb 3, 2013:
“This is the Senate's health care bill. The bill started off with text regarding an unrelated matter but the Senate is co-opted this bill as a vehicle for passage of their reform and changed the text in whole to the health care bill. They do this because the Constitution requires all revenue bills to start in the House, and their health reform plan involves revenue. So they have chosen to work off of a bill that started in the House, even if that bill is unrelated.”
