You see on the news that a United States senator is considering introducing a bill to reform the U.S. tax code.
What is wrong with this scenario? (1 point)
• Senators don't make laws.
• Tax bills must start with the president.
• Congress does not have the power to levy taxes.
• Only members of the House of Representatives have the power to introduce revenue bills.
• Senators don't make laws.
The correct answer is: Only members of the House of Representatives have the power to introduce revenue bills.
The answer to this question is "Only members of the House of Representatives have the power to introduce revenue bills." To understand why this is the correct answer, we need to have a basic understanding of the U.S. legislative process.
In the United States, the legislative branch is responsible for creating laws. It is divided into two chambers - the Senate and the House of Representatives. Both chambers play a role in the law-making process, but they have different powers and responsibilities.
One key difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives is their roles in introducing bills related to taxes and revenue. According to the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 7), all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. This means that only members of the House of Representatives have the power to introduce bills that deal with taxes.
In the given scenario, the news report stating that a United States senator is considering introducing a bill to reform the U.S. tax code is incorrect. While senators play an important role in the legislative process, they do not have the power to introduce bills related to taxes and revenue. Therefore, the scenario described is incorrect, and the answer option stating that "Only members of the House of Representatives have the power to introduce revenue bills" is the correct one.
