 | | The constitutional provision barring the Senate from introducing revenue bills is based on the practice of the British Parliament, in which only the House of Commons may originate such measures. | | | The presiding officer may rule on any "point of order" (a senator's objection that a rule has been breached), but the decision is subject to appeal to the whole house. | | | Sittings of the Senate are generally open to the public and are broadcast live on television by C-SPAN 2. |

| | For example, standing alone, Senator Wyden has kept the leadership of the United States Senate from overturning Oregon's twice-passed ballot measure legalizing physician-assisted suicide. | | | Widely recognized as an expert on technology policy, the Senator passed bipartisan laws prohibiting discriminatory taxes on Internet commerce and promoting the use of digital signatures. | | | In serving Oregon in the United States Senate, Ron Wyden pursues creative, bipartisan solutions to tough issues, offers unprecedented accessibility to his constituents, and stands up for Oregonians no matter the odds. |
