First it is reviewed by people who deal with the category of bills that it falls under. [Ex. money, farming, schools, etc] It is checked over to make sure that no part of the new bill comes into conflict with another, already there law. If that part of the bill is acceptable, then it is revised to add or delete anything that is undesirable in the eyes of whoever is trying to pass the bill, be it a Senator or State Rep. When that is complete (if its changed at all) The person who wishes it to be passed into law brings it to the floor. This means that they ask Congress, which ever part of Congress that there in, to read over and vote to pass or denie the bill. If it is passed then it is sent to the other house of which it did not start to be voted upon. Aka, if it started in the Senate and passed then its sent to the House of Reps to be voted yes or no on. If the bill passed with a simple majority in both houses then the bill is sent to the President. If the President signs it, then it is a law. If he veto's it, then the bill is returned to Congress, who, as a whole, must re-vote to pass the bill. This time with a 2/3 rds majority in both houses to override the presidents veto. If this is not accomplished, or anywhere along the way the bill does not receive a high enough number of votes to pass, the bill is considered dead, or that it died in Congress.
