Submitting a Bill
Bills originate from several different sources, but primarily from individual members of Congress. In addition, bills might be brought to a member by a constituent or by a group of constituents; a bill can be submitted to a member of Congress by one or more state legislatures; or the President or his administration might suggest a bill.
However it is brought to the attention of a member, it must be submitted for consideration by the member. In the House, Representatives need merely drop a copy of a bill into a bin specifically placed to receive new bills. In the Senate, the bill is given to a clerk at the President's desk.
Bills can be introduced in either house, though as noted above, a bill must eventually pass both houses to become law. The exception to this is that bills for raising revenue must originate in the House, and never in the Senate.
The problem Obamba has is that bills for raising revenue must originate in the house. Obama can't submit a bill. He can write one and suggest (send) a bill to a congressman, but the congressman has to submit the bill. Obamba could not find a single democrat willing to put his name on that bill. Same thing happened to Obama's first budget bill he sent to congress. He could not get even one single vote including democrats. Obamba may be the clown driving the clown car, but he is still just a clown.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
