Respuesta :

Anyone in congress can propose a bill, it doesn't matter if it is spending related or not...

Answer:

Bills that relate to spending money are proposed by the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

Article One of the Constitution of the United States puts all the legislative powers of the federal government in Congress. Their powers are limited to those listed in the Constitution; the rest belong to the states, the other two powers and the people. The powers of Congress include the authority to regulate interstate and international commerce, elaborate laws, establish federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court, maintain the Armed Forces and declare war.

The Senate is almost totally equal to the House of Representatives in power, and it is not a "revision chamber" like the High Chambers of bicameral parliaments in other countries. However, there are exclusive powers of each chamber: only the Senate can approve or reject the persons designated by the President for executive and judicial positions. It can also ratify treaties, while laws related to taxes and spending must originate in the House because it is more representative than the Senate.
