Best Answer

If a majority of Congress does not want the bill, then the bill is dead unless the committee makes changes that allows the bill to get 50%. Then it goes to the President for his signature. If the president refuses to sign, it goes back to congress. If enough members of Congress want the bill, they can override it with a two-thirds vote.
