Constitution Quiz --7

In the matter of passing a health care bill we have seen the Constitution's checks and balances at work. First we are seeing that a bill must pass both houses. A bill that requires an expenditure must originate in the House of Representatives and eventually we will see that the bill must pass both houses of Congress in exactly the same form. Here are some questions regarding this issue and the Constitution.

1. Can the President introduce a bill into either house of Congress? (yes/no)

2. Why must bills requiring an appropriation of money be first introduced into the House of Representatives? Sorry no choices here. You will have to ponder this one for awhile, but I will give you a hint. The House represents the people of the U.S. and the Senate represents the States of the U.S. Hope that helps!
