How is Law is Created in the US?
A "Bill" is introduced into both houses of Congress and debated in both the House and the Senate. When agreement between both houses is called for, a "Conference Committee" is convened to iron out any differences between the two versions. The final version is voted upon and, if passed, sent to the President. If the President is in agreement with the Bill he signs it and it becomes "Law."
What happens if either house makes changes in a bill after receiving it from the other house?
It's voted on by the senate. Then, if it passes, it goes back to the house to be voted on again.answer #2if the second house make changes to the bill, the bill goes to a conference committee where a small number of House and Senate members hash out the differences between the two houses. Often the conference committee meetings are not public as they should be. The conference committee is allowed to virtually rewrite the bill if that is what it takes to get a compromise. The agreement between the two houses in conference is then voted on by both Houses, if they both agree the bill goes to the President for his signature.
What is the process in which a bill becomes law in congress?
The bill is introduced in either the House or the Senate by one or more members. It is referred to a committee for review. If the committee votes to pass it forward, it goes to the entire House or Senate where it can be amended (changed) and then voted on. If it passes then it must wait until the other house of Congress (the one that didn't introduce it originally) goes through the same process for a similar bill.When both versions of the bill have been approved by both Houses, they form a conference committee made up of members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate to try and make the bill into a single version that all can accept. If they are successful, the new single bill goes to both Houses to be voted on. If it passes both Houses, it goes to the President.The President can either sign the bill into law, or veto it. If he vetoes a bill it goes back to Congress. If at least 2/3 of both Houses re-pass it, it becomes law without the President's signature.

What happens to a bill that is voted down by the senate?
For a bill to become law it must be passed by both houses of Congress, so when the Senate passes a bill, the same bill must also go to the House of Representatives, or if the House has passed a similar bill, the two bills must be reconciled by a joint committee to produce a single bill that both houses can pass. Then when both houses have passed the same bill, the bill goes to the President for his signature. The President may or may not sign the bill, and if he doesn't, Congress can over-ride the veto if they have enough votes. Otherwise the bill dies.
