But the bottom line is, yes, both the Senate and the House of Representatives has to pass identical versions of the same law to land on the president's desk for him or her.

In the 90s. Oh, what was the last amendment? The last amendment, it had to do with the way, like if Congress is going to adjust its own pay, it said that the change in pay would not go into effect until after the next election.

This is not holy scripture. This is not forever and ever. Amen.
