‘No new bill’ on Russia sanctions, Senate violated procedure – White House


President Donald Trump will disregard the recent Senate bill imposing new sanctions on Russia because it violated the constitutional requirement that revenue legislation originate in the House of Representatives, the White House has said.

On June 15, the Senate voted 98-2 to impose new sanctions against Russia and codify the existing ones into law, in order to tie Trump’s hands when it came to the sanctions policy. In doing so, however, they apparently violated the origination clause of the US Constitution, which requires that any bill raising revenue originates in the House.

“There is no new bill at this time,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters on Monday, asking if they were referring to the bill that “the Senate parliamentarian ruled didn’t follow proper procedure.”
