UPSC 2005: Consider the following statements: 1. The Constitution of the United States of America came into force in the year 1810. 2. All revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives of the US Congress. 3. George W. Bush is the only President in the history of the United States of America whose father was also the President of the United States of America. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)1 and 2
(d)2 and 3
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The U.S. Constitution took effect on 4 March 1789 (not 1810), so statement 1 is wrong. Article I § 7 requires all revenue bills to originate in the House of Representatives, so statement 2 is correct. George W. Bush was only the second son of a President to become President, the first being John Quincy Adams; hence statement 3 is incorrect. Thus only statement 2 is correct (option b).
