What is the Slaughter Solution?

Friday, March 19, 2010

The Slaughter Solution is a method proposed by NY Rep. Louise Slaughter to "deem" a bill (the healthcare bill) as passed without actually taking a vote on it.

House members will vote on amendments attached to the bill, and if those amendments pass the entire legislation will be "deemed" as passed.

This violates the U.S. Constitution, specifically Article 1 Section 7:

 But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively.
