Laws in Puerto Rico are made the same way as in the Congress of the United States. First they are proposed in either the Senate or the House of Representatives, it is discussed and voted upon. After that it passes to the other body. Once it is approved by both Senate and House, it is later signed into law by the Governor, or vetoed. If it is vetoed the Legislature can make it into law with a super majority.
