Step 1. A bill is thought up by anyone even the president or congress. Step 2. They present their idea to the staff, and the rough draft is refined into a proposed bill Step 3. The bill is then presented in front of other members of congress Step 4. The bill is then studied. Hearings are held and evidence on the bill is gathered and the committee can add or delete things as they please Step 5. The committee then votes on the bill and if it gets approved the bill is then sent to the Senate Step 6. That house votes, if the bill gets 2/3rd's vote it then moves onto another house Step 7. After the bill has been studied once again it is voted on once more and passed to the second house. Step 8. The first house considers any changes that were made. If it approves all inspections the bill is then sent to the President. Step 9. If the house where the bill originated feels they need to change anything or re-write parts before passing it on to the president they may do so. Step 10. It is then sent to the President. If the President signs the bill, it becomes a law. If the President does not approve the bill and he vetoes it, it is sent back to the house it originated in. Step 11. If the bill get's a 2/3rd's vote from the first and second house, the bill becomes a law and overrides the President's veto.
