It passes onall bills that come up from the lower house, and can originate bills onmost matters, but not for raising revenue. Its function as a high courtof impeachment, with the chief justice for its presiding officer, wasdirectly copied from the House of Lords. But here the resemblance ends. The House of Lords has no such veto upon the House of Commons as ourSenate has upon the House of Representatives. Between our upper andlower houses a serious deadlock is possible; but the House of Lords c...anonly reject a bill until it sees that the House of Commons is determinedto have it carried. It can only enter a protest. If it is obstinate andtries to do more, the House of Commons, through its prime minister, cancreate enough new peers to change the vote, --a power so formidable inits effects upon the social position of the peerage that it does notneed to be used. The knowledge that it exists is enough to bring theHouse of Lords to terms.
