Since coming to Washington there's a lot I've learned about passing legislation that I didn't learn in high school civics class. But one thing still stands--the same bill must pass the House of Representatives and the Senate before the President can sign it into law.

This year, because of a clerk's error, the House of Representatives approved a "final" version of the budget bill that differs from the Senate's final version. Public Citizen, the watchdog group launched by Ralph Nader, has filed a lawsuit, contending that the bill President Bush signed into law is unconstitutional because the same bill was not passed by both the House and Senate.
