Creating and passing revenue bills are among the most
important powers of the House of Representatives.
Members of the Ways and Means Committee make
recommendations about bills that can raise the money
the government needs to operate. Participating in the
process of amending and adopting revenue bills is a
representative's main duty. Representatives must meet
with constituents and make sure laws the House
approves are beneficial to their home district.
Representatives must consider committee findings and
the floor debate in casting their vote on important
legislation that affects citizens across the nation.
