Presentation transcript:

Ch 7 sec 2

 The House of Representatives has exclusive power to start all revenue bills, and all important work on tax laws occurs in the House Ways and Means Committee.

B. Until the 1970s the closed rule forbade members of Congress from amending tax bills from the floor of the House; members felt tax bills were too complex and in too much danger of being amended under pressure from special-interest groups to allow such changes.

C. In 1973 the House revolted against the powerful Ways and Means Committee and its chairperson to do away with the closed rule; critics charge that doing away with this rule has allowed tax bills to become a collection of amendments favoring special interests.

D. The Senate may propose changes in tax bills, and the Senate Committee on Finance has primary responsibility for tax matters.

 Congress has the power of appropriation, or approval of government spending. $100

B. Congress uses a two-step procedure in appropriating money: 1. An authorization bill, setting up a federal program and specifying how much money may be spent on it; 2. An appropriations bill, providing money needed to carry out the program or law.

C. In each house of Congress, an appropriations committee and its subcommittees handle appropriations bills. D. Appropriations subcommittees may develop close relationships with certain agencies and projects for which they appropriate funds.

E. Powerful interest groups try to influence appropriations subcommittees to give the agencies all the money they request. F. Most of the money the federal government spends each year is for uncontrollable expenditures.

Why are certain expenditures such as social security given long-term spending authority?
