Why did the House of Representatives decide to pass the 2008 Federal Bailout bill the second time around?
After the stock market plummeted after they rejected it the first time, there was more political pressure on them to take action the second time around. There were also "improvements" made to the bill which made it easier to stomach for some House members.When the House of Representatives voted down the bill on Monday September 29th, the US Stock Market collapsed, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average declining 780 points. This decline scared many representatives because they did not take the warnings from the administration seriously.

What is the order of getting a bill passed?
Well, A bill is passed by... First, a bill is introduced by either the house or the senate. Then, they have committee hearings. Next they take floor action. then if the bill is passed to the house or passed on they have more committee hearings then floor action, then it depends. If the bill is passed with amendments than it goes back to the house that passed the bill. If the bill is passed without amendments than the bill goes straight to the Governor. If the bill was passed with amendments the after the house that passed the bill had it then it goes to the Governor and if it is not vetoed than it will become a law on the first of the next year. Same with the bill that was passed with no amendments. If this was confusing then there is diagram on a website that is more understandable. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bil2lawd.HTML Here is the answer, 12 year old B.erdman
