6:
If the second house passes a different version the bill, members of both houses meet as a conference committee to work out disagreements. When finished, both floors vote on the new bill. It may be approved by a majority vote or rejected.

7:
An approved bill is then sent to the President. He may either veto (reject) the bill or sign it into law. If the President neither signs nor vetoes the bill, it becomes law in ten days.
1:
A bill, or an idea for a new law, is introduced in either house. Exception: All bills to raise money must originate in the House of Representatives.
