sion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 
of 2009 ‘‘cannot be upheld as an exercise of Congress’s 
power under the Commerce Clause’’ but ‘‘was within 
Congress’s power to tax’’; 
Whereas the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 
2009 was originally introduced in the United States Con-
gress by its sponsor as the ‘‘Senate health care bill’’ in 
the form of a Senate Amendment to H.R. 3590, which 
had passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 
416–0 as the ‘‘Service Members Home Ownership Tax 
Act of 2009’’; 
Whereas there is ample evidence that the sponsors of the 
‘‘Senate health care bill’’ not only contemplated the possi-
bility of substantial excess revenues, but explicitly an-
nounced on its Senate introduction that, ‘‘This bill will 
cut the deficit by $130 billion’’; 
Whereas section 1563 of the Senate amended H.R. 3590 ex-
plicitly stated that it was the ‘‘Sense of the Senate [that] 
this Act will reduce the Federal deficit between 2010 and 
2019’’, and ‘‘this Act will continue to reduce budget defi-
cits after 2019.’’; and 
Whereas the ‘‘Senate health care bill’’ that the President ulti-
mately signed as H.R. 3590 contains 17 numbered ‘‘Rev-
enue Provisions’’, none of which are germane to the sub-
ject matter of the original H.R. 3590, and nothing else 
in the ‘‘Senate health care bill’’ was germane to the sub-
ject matter of H.R. 3590: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-

Whereas the term ‘‘illegal alien’’ may cause negative senti-
