who cares
Everyone should care since the bills will all affect everyone! You can always go to Thomas, which is non-partisan and the records are kept by the Library of Congress. You can search by the bill name, number or Congressman.

Yes it will go back to congress though. A president can not veto it again if it gets back to him.
The president
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.
If the president vetoes a bill, then Congress can override that vetoe, but the bill must go back to Congress to be approved with a majority vote.
either to sign in and make it become a law or to veto the bill then the bill will go back to congress and if two thirds of congress vote on the bill the bill becomes a law
The bill goes to the rules committee as a last step before being voted on in the house floor. The rules committee establishes how a bill will be voted on and any restrictions on how that will happen.
Well the President generally comes up with it but it has to go through Congress and be voted on.
The initial phase of a law is typically when a bill is introduced in a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. During this phase, the bill is reviewed, debated, and potentially amended before being voted on. If the bill passes, it may move on to other legislative bodies or go to the executive branch for approval.
Anyone can write, draft a bill. But only a member of congress can sponsor the bill. The bill must be sponsored by a member before it can go to the floor for debate

Yes. Public Laws are never Amendments to the US Constitution. Congress passes those separately. Then they must go to the individual state legislatures for ratification. However, sometimes a bill will be filed and while the congressman that files the bill awaits a vote, amendments are offered to amend the original bill. In this case, the amendments are voted on first. Then the original bill plus amendments that have passed, if any, is voted on. If the bill passes, the bill and its amendments become Public Law on the President's signature. Sometimes it becomes necessary to change a Public Law that has already been approved and signed. When this happens the changes are called a "revision" rather than an amendment.
