- revenue bill55%
A US constitutional and legislative term for a bill that raises money through taxation — specifically, any legislation that imposes or adjusts taxes on the public. Under Article I of the US Constitution, all revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives rather than the Senate. The term is used precisely in constitutional law, congressional procedure, and political journalism when discussing the legislative origins and authority of tax legislation. It's dry but important vocabulary in American civic and legal discourse.
