It is very important to know the steps for a bill to become a law. These are as follows; the bill is drafted, the bill is presented to the house, sent to committee, committee action, rules committee, Floor action, introduced to the Senate, Committee action, Bill called up, Floor action, conference committee, vote on compromise, presidential action, and the vote to override.
a bill is referred to Senate Committee
If passed out of the subcomittee, it must still go to the full committee before it can be sent to the floor.
A bill is a proposed law that is introduced to Congress by a member of the house or senate and it is assigned to a committee which is then assigned to a subcommittee. After the subcommittee performs studies, holds hearings, makes revisions, and approves it, the bill goes to the full committee. Full committee may amend or rewrite the bill, before deciding whether to send it to the floor of the House or Senate or to kill it. If approved, the bill is reported to the full House/Senate and placed on the calendar. In the House, the rules committee issues a rule governing debate on the House floor and sends the bill to the full house. In the senate, leaders of both parties schedule debate on the bill. The bill is then debated by full House/Senate, amendments are offered and a vote is taken. If the bill passes in a different version from that passed in the Senate or House, it is sent to a conference committee. The conference committee composed of members of both house and senate meet to iron out differences between the bills. The compromise bill is returned to both the house and senate for a vote. Full House/Senate votes on conference committee version. If it passes, the bill is sent to the president. The President signs or vetoes the bill. Congress may override a veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. Then it's a LAW! from Government in America George C. Edwards, Martin P Wattenberg, and Robert L Lineberry
Step 1. A bill is thought up by anyone even the president or congress. Step 2. They present their idea to the staff, and the rough draft is refined into a proposed bill Step 3. The bill is then presented in front of other members of congress Step 4. The bill is then studied. Hearings are held and evidence on the bill is gathered and the committee can add or delete things as they please Step 5. The committee then votes on the bill and if it gets approved the bill is then sent to the Senate Step 6. That house votes, if the bill gets 2/3rd's vote it then moves onto another house Step 7. After the bill has been studied once again it is voted on once more and passed to the second house. Step 8. The first house considers any changes that were made. If it approves all inspections the bill is then sent to the President. Step 9. If the house where the bill originated feels they need to change anything or re-write parts before passing it on to the president they may do so. Step 10. It is then sent to the President. If the President signs the bill, it becomes a law. If the President does not approve the bill and he vetoes it, it is sent back to the house it originated in. Step 11. If the bill get's a 2/3rd's vote from the first and second house, the bill becomes a law and overrides the President's veto.
