Can a member of House of Representatives introduce a bill?
Yes they can, but after they do it goes to committee. In committee they can rewrite the bill, keep it the way it is written, add to it (this often happens), table it over another time, send it back to the person who wrote it, or veto it completely which kills it. If it passes committee it goes to the house for a vote. If it passes the House it goes to the Senate and starts all over with the committee doing the same things as the House. If it passes both bodies of Congress it goes to the President who can sign it, veto it, or do a pocket veto which means he doesn't sign or comment on it for 10 days. In the last few years Presidents have signed bills but added a signing statement. This states that he signed the bill but won't follow the bill because he didn't like it. Clinton signed 600 of these and Bush did 800. I am not sure if Obama has done any statements.
