The Legislative Branch consists of two houses and another commonly known word for Legislative is Congress. The two houses are the House of Representatives, and the Senate. The House of Representatives has 435 people and the number of people that are in that for each of the states depends on the state's population and was known a while ago as the Virginia plan. The Senate has 100 people. 2 people from each state are elected to represent. The Legislative Branch is where the Bills first start. All money Bills go to the House of Representatives. If the Bill doesn't have to do with money then it can go to the Senate or the House of Representatives. The Bills first go to a committee, sub committee, full committee, Full House, and is passed with a simple majority. (1 over half or 3/4 vote) The Bill can be changed or denied at any time and does not continue if it is denied. Then it goes to the other house which could be the House of Representatives or the Senate (it depends on where you start). It goes to a sub committee, full committee, it also is given a new name because it isn't in the same house anymore, Full Senate and if passed goes to congress as the Joint Committee to compromise if there are any disagreements. That is passed by the Simple Majority in the Congress and it goes to the President. If the President signs it then the Bill becomes a law instantly and if the President does not sign it in 10 days then it is a law, but if he vetoes the Bill then it goes back to Congress for changing. It is really hard to over ride your President about the Bill, but if you have a 2/3 majority on it then you can over ride his decision.
