Constitutional Connection: 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"
Explanation of Connection:
In the cartoon it shows that this Health Care bill just passed the House of Representatives and is on its way to the senate. The senate in the cartoon is a brick wall and the house is wall made out of barb wire. The bill just passed the House of Reps. and says that that was a tough wall to climb and its glad that its done with the house. But the brick wall (senate) is going to be an even bigger challenge for the bill to pass.
This cartoon demonstrates Article 1, Section 8 in the U.S. Constitution. It shows the process that a bill goes through before it is made into to a law. I like that it takes more then one step before a bill becomes a law because you get more feedback and opinions on this law from different people. Some might really hate the bill and other may support it 100%. Even though this process takes a long time, it is sometime beneficial for the people because your voice is heard through your representative or senator on this bill.
