What are the main steps in the legislative process?
The first main step in the process of legislation being adopted by Congress in the United States is the introduction of a bill to the House of Representatives. Committee discussion is next, then a vote. If the bill passes, it gets sent to the Senate for the same consideration, then if it passes there, the President can choose to sign the bill into law or to veto it.

How much time do senators usually have to debate a bill on the floor of the senate?
The Senate does not have a time limit. The only real time limit for the Senate is that they have to vote on the bill before that Congressional session ends. If the session ends before the bill is sent to the President's desk, for any reason whatsoever (no matter how trivial the reason is), then the bill "dies," and they have to start all over the next January (when the next session begins). This often leads to abuse, which is called a "filibuster," where one Senator who opposes a bill will attempt to just talk endlessly until the bill is withdrawn, or the session ends. To combat a filibuster, 3/5 of the Senate (currently, sixty Senators) can invoke a "cloture," which limits a bill to one hour of debate. This is the only time the Senate has a time limit other than the Congressional session.
If a bill is approved by the house of representatives where must is go next?
Yes, the bill will go to the House of Representatives if it is approved by the committee and has survived a Senate vote.
What are three hurdles congress faces in passing bill?
A bill is a proposed law that is introduced to Congress by a member of the house or senate and it is assigned to a committee which is then assigned to a subcommittee. After the subcommittee performs studies, holds hearings, makes revisions, and approves it, the bill goes to the full committee. Full committee may amend or rewrite the bill, before deciding whether to send it to the floor of the House or Senate or to kill it. If approved, the bill is reported to the full House/Senate and placed on the calendar. In the House, the rules committee issues a rule governing debate on the House floor and sends the bill to the full house. In the senate, leaders of both parties schedule debate on the bill. The bill is then debated by full House/Senate, amendments are offered and a vote is taken. If the bill passes in a different version from that passed in the Senate or House, it is sent to a conference committee. The conference committee composed of members of both house and senate meet to iron out differences between the bills. The compromise bill is returned to both the house and senate for a vote. Full House/Senate votes on conference committee version. If it passes, the bill is sent to the president. The President signs or vetoes the bill. Congress may override a veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. Then it's a LAW! from Government in America George C. Edwards, Martin P Wattenberg, and Robert L Lineberry
