I think you are referring to how a bill becomes a law. A bill must pass both houses of congress and then the president must sign it.
To become a state, a US territory must petition Congress to be admitted into the union. A bill must pass the senate and then be signed by the president.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Either house can pass resolutions that express its opinion on some matter- these are not laws and are not sent to the president. The Congress can also pass non-binding resolutions that are not sent to the president and do not become law. However, the Congress can pass joint resolutions which means the identical resolution is passed by both houses. These are sent to the president and become law if he signs them,
In that situation the bill is considered vetoed and is of no effect. This is called the President's "pocket veto." For a bill to become law the President must do two things. He must sign it and return it to Congress within 10 days of passage. A bill, whether signed by the President or not, cannot be returned to Congress if it is in recess. If Congress recesses before the President signs and returns the bill it cannot be returned; therefore the two requirements for a bill to become law cannot be met. When this happens, if Congress wants the bill passed, Congress will introduce another version of the bill, pass it and send it to the President who would then have to formally veto it or sign and return it.
First the bill must make it out of committee. The bill must be voted on and passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Then if the bill is signed by the President it will become law.
It's a bit more complicated than that. First, Congress must vote on it (majority wins) to pass it to the President. The President then must approve. If he vetoes the law, all is not still lost. Congress can override the veto by two-thirds vote. If they do, the bill becomes a law no matter what the president says.
All bills that are to become law must move through both houses of Congress before going to the White House for the president's signature or veto. If a bill has pass the Senate, the House of Representatives must pass it before it goes to the president.
To become a law, a bill must be passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. Then it must be approved by the President.
2/3
with a two thirds majority vote
To pass a bill over a presidential veto, Congress must achieve a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This level of support is needed to override the president's objection and enact the bill into law without their approval.
