On Tuesday, October 27, Assistant Professor Tessa Dysart presented
"The Origination Clause, the Affordable Care Act, and Indirect
Constitutional Violations" as part of the Law Faculty Colloquium Series.
Recently published in the Cornell Journal of Law and Public
Policy, this article contends that the Supreme Court’s opinion in National
Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, rekindles an old question about
the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) under the Origination Clause. The full
article is available on SSRN:http://ssrn.com/abstract=2592116
