Explanation

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. The Constitution of the United States of America was ratified in 1788 and came into force in 1789, not 1810. 2. Statement 2 is correct. Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. 3. Statement 3 is incorrect. John Quincy Adams (6th President) was the son of John Adams (2nd President). George W. Bush (43rd President) is the son of George H.W. Bush (41st President). Therefore, George W. Bush is not the *only* president whose father was also president.
