How do you get a new law started?

The first thing you do is contact your congressman with your proposal. If the congressman is interested and sponsors it, your proposal becomes a bill. Then the bill works its way through the House of Representatives and then through Senate. That is the time to lobby for the bill. Once is passes both houses, it then continues onto the President. If the President signs his/her approval, then the bill becomes a law. If the president vetoes it, it does not become a law unless enough members of Congress (3/4 majority) vote to override the veto and make it a law that way.
