Bill > HRes829

This Resolution states that the House of Representatives is returning two specific legislative items to the Senate: S. 3254, which is the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, and the Senate's amendment to H.R. 4310, also related to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. The House believes these measures violate a specific part of the U.S. Constitution, namely the first clause of the seventh section of the first article, which generally deals with how revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives. Furthermore, the House asserts that these measures infringe upon its constitutional privileges, meaning they believe the Senate has overstepped its authority or encroached on the House's specific powers. The resolution formally directs the Clerk of the House to send these items back to the Senate with a message explaining the House's reasoning.
