I dont think it's a certain house. I think it is by 3/4 majority vote..then of course it must be approved by the president.. there's actually a list of procedures a bill must go through before it becomes law. You could try to look up a flow chart on Google image or maybe see if you could borrow a school text book or talk to a government teacher.

What happens when a bill dies as a result of no presidential signature?
If the President signs a bill that has been passed by Congress, it does not die, but becomes law. I have never heard of a President signing a bill before it was passed by Congress, but if he did and it died, I suppose it would mean that he was in danger of being known as a weak President.

For the bill to become law, the President must sign the bill, or Congress must override his or her veto. So, if the President forgot about the bill, it would not become law.
If passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate in identical form Where does a bill go?
A passed bill goes to the President for his signature. If the President vetoes the bill, he sends it back to the Congress for consideration. The Congress can then change the legislation or vote to override the veto, which would require a two-thirds majority vote in each house. If Congress votes to override, the bill would then become law with or without the President's signature.

What happen if both houses of congress pass a bill and the president does nothing and congress is at recess?
In that situation the bill is considered vetoed and is of no effect. This is called the President's "pocket veto." For a bill to become law the President must do two things. He must sign it and return it to Congress within 10 days of passage. A bill, whether signed by the President or not, cannot be returned to Congress if it is in recess. If Congress recesses before the President signs and returns the bill it cannot be returned; therefore the two requirements for a bill to become law cannot be met. When this happens, if Congress wants the bill passed, Congress will introduce another version of the bill, pass it and send it to the President who would then have to formally veto it or sign and return it.
How can the 22nd amendment be changed?
No. To change the amendment would take another amendment to the Constitution. The Congress would have to introduce and pass the amendment, then three fourths of the States would have to accept the amendment before it would become ratified.
