The US Senate is the upper chamber of the US Congress, while the US House of Representatives is the lower chamber.

  • All revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives but Senate may offer or concur with and amend the revenue bills. 
  • According to the American constitution under article I Section 7, All bills for producing revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. 
  • Power of the Senate on revenue bills concerns they can only propose or concur with changes.
  • In the UK constitution, the legislative and the executive have a close relationship.
  • Walter Bagehot describes the relationship as the "almost full fusion" of the roles. 
  • ​The United States Constitution does not allow for the dissolution of Congress by the  American President.

​Thus, American Senate has the power to amend revenue bills and the House of Representatives has the special power to originate revenue bills that are correct statements.

  • Bills, resolutions, amendments, motions, nominations, and treaties are all voted on in the Senate.
  • Senators can vote by roll call vote, voice vote, or unanimous consent.
