Since The Admin Won't Allow Civil Discussions On Civics
Mar 8, 2021 16:57:28 #
In the following thread, a user asked about the appropriations and revenue bills. I provided a straight "civics class" answer to the question. However, as soon as I cited the names of Pelosi and Schumer, and what happened to their line item requests, the Admin deigned it "political" and my response was deleted. Follows is the thread, and following that is my answer to the person who asked the question:

So member Jim Plogger's question remains unanswered.

Why couldn't you have just said "the bill was revised in the Senate so it has to go back to the House for a vote"?

The discussion had gotten a bit deeper than that. Most folks, who aren't policy wonks, don't know the mechanics and rules of Congress; which are joint rules, exclusively one chamber or the other, etc. Actual lawmaking is nothing like what folks imagine. The analogy to sausage making is apt.
For good or bad, Congress has methods and rules which may be arcane to most Americans, but serve purposes nonetheless.
PS - I did send a private note to the user.
