The finalized bill that was passed in the Senate was actually a House resolution that was stripped of all its original language. The original House resolution was an unrelated bill dealing with VA benefits. The Senate stripped all the original language out of the House resolution, inserted the Affordable Care language, and passed a bill that first originated in the House. This is a tactic that is known as using a "shell bill." And it's completely Constitutional and has happened more frequently than many would care to admit.
