How a bill becomes a law
Storyboard Tekst
- A bill can be introduced in either chamber of Congress by a senator or representative who sponsors it.
- The committee debates on and marks up the proposed bill, and they vote to reject or accept the bill after it has been debated
- Members in attendance will vote to pass or not to pass the bill.
- During floor action, Members debate the bill.
- If the bill doesn't pass in the house of representatives, then it dies. If it passes, then it goes on to the Senate.
- Majority vote is required for a bill to pass in the House of Representatives.
- Differences must be agreed upon before the bill is sent to the president.
- If the senate passes a majority vote, then the bill goes to the president to become a law.
- The president receives the proposed bill and either vetos or passes the law. If the president vetoes a law and both chambers of Congress override the President's veto, then the bill becomes a law.
