Bill > HRes340

This Resolution concerns H.B. 1735, also known as the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, which is a bill that sets aside money for the military activities of the Department of Defense, for building military facilities, and for defense-related work by the Department of Energy, and also specifies the number of military personnel for that year. The Resolution indicates that the House of Representatives is sending the bill back to the Senate with an amendment made by the Senate. The reason for this return is the House's belief that the Senate's amendment violates a rule in the U.S. Constitution that states bills that involve raising money must start in the House of Representatives, and that the Senate's action infringes upon the rights and privileges of the House.
