Best Answer

A proposed a law, called a bill, it must gain a majority vote in both houses of congress before it goes to the president for approval if he signs it, the president can also veto or reject the bill but congress has the final word. a vetoed bill can still become a law, if congress votes on it again, with two thirds of the members of each house approving it.
