How do you get a new law started?

The first thing you do is contact your congressman with your proposal. If the congressman is interested and sponsors it, your proposal becomes a bill. Then the bill works its way through the House of Representatives and then through Senate. That is the time to lobby for the bill. Once is passes both houses, it then continues onto the President. If the President signs his/her approval, then the bill becomes a law. If the president vetoes it, it does not become a law unless enough members of Congress (3/4 majority) vote to override the veto and make it a law that way.

Thhousands of bills are introduced to Congress each year, but only a small percentage actually become law.

So the likelyhood of a bill completing its journey is very slim.


How does the system of checks and balances make it difficult for congress to pass a law that the president opposes?

A bill passes, in theory, with a majority of 50% + 1. If a President opposes a bill, he can veto it. Then the only way it can become law is if both houses of Congress vote by a 2/3 majority to override the veto.
