And in this vein, the House of Representatives acted. On the date 19 August 1982, a resolution, H. Res. 571, was brought before the House of Representatives for consideration which concerned the unconstitutionality of the methods used in the Senate concerning H.R. 4961, Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA). The resolution declared that the Senate had taken the tax cut that President Reagan had proposed, and that the House of Representatives had acted upon, and added amendments, making it one of the largest tax increases up to that time. Representative Dan Rostenkowski then moved to lay the resolution on the table, a move to sidestep the issue and move on with the bill. The resolution was laid on the table. At issue was the Origination Clause of the Constitution, whereas all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives. Senator Dole, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, was asked why TEFRA did not originate in the House, and replied, "Well, I'll be very honest, because the House didn't want to originate it." Representative W. Henson Moore, and several other Congressmen, brought suit before the federal District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking a declaratory judgment that passage of TEFRA infringed upon the powers of the House under the origination clause of the Constitution, and, two days later, Representative Ron Paul filed an identical suit. U.S. District Judge Joyce Hens Green dismissed the plaintiffs' cases for lack of standing. The judge stated that the Plaintiff's in this case were just frustrated because they were outvoted by their fellow legislators.
