How a bill Becomes a law.
The Senate
Goes through similar steps
The Senate can also use the Filibuster. In which they could prolong the debate for an indefinite amount of time. This would allow for the bill to be never pass.
After that the Sentate debates on the bill. They mst also approve for all of the revisions the subcommitees made.
The Senate does research it. Sends it to the subcommittees. After they do research or tweaks to the bill. They send it back for approval.
The President/Vice President.
Three ways that the President does for the law.
The President can accept the bill and can become a law.
He can veto the bill. Returning it to the House of Represetatives, as well his reasons.
If the House of Represenatives and the Senate deciedes if the bill should be law they can vote on it.
The only way for that to happen is of 2/3 of both parties would the President's veto would overide and the bill becomes law.
He could do nothing. If Congress is still in session the bill becomes a law after 10 days. If not the bill is gone.
House of Representative
When the bill is introduced it's placed in a hopper, which is a special box on the sides of the clerk's desk.
After that the House Debates on the Bill. It needs to be fully approved by the House in order to pass. Other wise it's gone.
There are three ways for voting the Bill. The first is Viva Voce. Where the Speaker of the House ask the Representative who support the bill
The Committee work or research it? Sends it to the subcommittees. After they do research or tweaks to the bill. They send it back for approval.
The Division, The Speaker of the House asks those Representatives who support the bill to stand up and be counted.
The Recorded. Representatives record their vote using the electronic voting system.
It' starts out as an idea. Either from a representative or people like me.
After convicing a Representative the idea they will research it.
They needs a sponser. Once they get it, the Representative will send it to the Sentate and the House of Representative.
There is also a Confrence where both the House of Representatives and the Senate would debate it. After it they would combine the bill from both sides and send it over to the president.
