Read the Constitution yourself. ALL spending bills come from the House as do all taxes. It is working it's way through the courts but since the SCOTUS called Obamacare a tax rather than a fine a constitutional question has been raised.
The Senate is holding on to several bills that would alleviate the situation but they are not even voting "present". Like Obama, they are AWOL.
There is no constitutional requirement to forward a "clean" bill. Unlike the lies told by Obama this has happened many times before. The House gave Nixon bills with requirements, ditto Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush. This is nothing new but there has been one change. In every case, the president negoiated and Obama refuses.
