Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The indication that the House may refuse to accept on constitutional argument, falsely put if I take the Clerk of this place correctly, an important bill from this chamber raises very serious constitutional questions. I ask the President what ability this chamber has to look at the constitutionality of bills originating in the House of Representatives which that House wants properly, and should have properly and duly, dealt with by this chamber?
