The Legislative Branch


Source: Jobless Benefits Bill Sent to Obama April 15, 2010

Constitutional Congress: Article 1, The Legislative Branch, Section 7
"Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law."

Explanation of Connection: Congress are sending a bill to President Obama to restore unemployment benefits for people who been out of work for months. The bill will give hundreds and thousands of citizens to reapply for jobs.

This article clearly demonstrates Article 1, Section 7 of the United States Constitution. All bills must originate with the House of Representatives and be passed to the Senate. All bills should be presented to the President and the president would either sign it or not. If not sign the House where the bill originated will reconsider the bill again. 

I believe that this bill is important because it will give more unemployed citizens a chance to have a job and be able to support not only their family, but themselves. Also and people would not have to really worry about them not having a way to not pay bills.
