First:After a law has been thought up by someone, a Congressman from any state may propose it to Congress. The proposal will be given to one of the two houses, either the House of Representatives(HOR) or the Senate Congress will then assign it to a committee. The committee will discuss it and come up with a final draft, it would be voted on in the Senate if not passed the bill is killed. If passed the bill is then passed onto the HOR. They assign it to a committee and its final draft is decided. HOR will then vote on it as the Senate did. If voted "no" the bill is killed; if voted yes the bill is passed. The drafts of the HOR and the Senate MUST be the same, if not, the process must start over. If the drafts are the same then they are put on the Presidents desk.

He has 3 choices:

1. He signs the bill and it becomes a law.

2. He vetos the bill and the bill is killed.

3. He can not sign the bill at all an wait 10 days, if Congress is in session the the bill becomes a law, if not this is called a pocket veto.

What is Caesar's law?

There was no such thing as Caesar's law. Julius Caesar was a prominent Roman politician who radically reformed the Roman Republic. He introduced many new laws. However, the laws in Rome were named after the family name of those who introduced them. Caesar's full name was Gaius Julius Caesar. Julius was his family name, not his first name. Any law he introduced were called lex Julia (Julian law). Not only Julius Caesar's laws were called lex Julia. Laws which had been introduced by members of his family before him also had this name.
