All bills dealing with taxation issues must:
  1. Begin in the Senate
  2. Begin in the House of Representatives
  3. Be introduced at the same time in both the House and the Senate.
  4. Be proposed by the President.
  5. Preliminarily cleared by the Supreme Court.
Explanation
Answer: B - The Constitution states that any bill dealing with taxation or other forms of revenue must first be introduced in the House of Representatives. The idea behind this is that the House better represents the will of the people, so any new tax should start there. While this is technically followed, it is not uncommon for bills that eventually have revenue regulation in them to start on the Senate.
