On the bailout bill that was passed on Friday, Oct. 3: Am I the only one who noticed what really happened in Congress, or are there others who could not believe what those people did?
According to the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 7: a bill is presented to the House and voted on, if it passes, it then goes to the Senate, if it passes there it goes to the reigning monarch that is sitting in the White House. But if the bill is not passed in the house, it is DEAD and the Senate cannot vote on the bill. According to the United States Constitution, a bill cannot originate in the Senate.
The bailout bill failed in the House, yet the Senate took that bill, added pork and passed it, then sent it back to the House, which then passed it.
With that being said, then, the bailout bill is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. But, since when did that stop the Congress or the president?
Could the bailout and the financial crisis be the false flag that everyone has been predicting?
Just my thought for the year.

You might want to re-read it, chief. It says only that revenue bills cannot originate in the Senate.
