In the American House of Representatives and the Senate proposed bills are first sent to the committee that oversees that particular area of interest.
There are committee on all sorts of industry, foreign policy, judiciary and even the house's own rules. They propose changes, add amendments and finally vote on whether it should go to the full house or senate to be voted on.
Committees are comprised of a percentage based on who is in the majority. So, most bills get out of committee rather easily even on a straight party line vote.
If there is a problem with the bill, if the majority changes or more importantly members of the majority are pressured to "kill the bill" from inside or outside their respective congressional districts the bill fails to get out of committee. Some bills do not see the inside of a committee room, most recently Democrats conducted business this way, in order to give cover to those politicians who are on the committee but don't want to vote for the bill.
