I think you are referring to how a bill becomes a law. A bill must pass both houses of congress and then the president must sign it.
You must buy a membership either on line or at one of the many venders available.

To pass a bill to the president, there must be a majority vote in both houses (over 50%). If the president vetoes the bill, it still may pass, except this time it needs a 2/3 majority vote from both houses.
Any member of either house of congress can present a bill to congress. A bill is a proposed law. Many congressmen present bills to please his constituents when he knows there is no possibility the bill will be passed. Many times the House will pass one version of a Bill that it does not like and the Senate will pass another version of the same Bill that it does not like. The two will never become reconciled because in reality, neither house really wants them but must pass them for political reasons. For a bill to become law, both houses must pass the same bill and at the Federal Level, the President must sign it (or at the state level, in most states, the governor must sign it). So a bill is a law before it becomes a law.
It requires two thirds of Congress to override a Presidential veto.
The members of the Lower and Upper Houses of the Parliament by majority vote. ______________________________________ The above answer was from the Andaman Islands of India. :-) In the USA, the House of Representatives and the Senate must both pass the SAME bill before it can go to the President for signature. Which just goes to show that many nations have similar governmental structures, even if we don't have the same names for the governing bodies.
The bill must originate in, and be passed by, the House before being voted on by the Senate. Both chambers must pass it before it goes to the president for signature or veto.
Yes
First the bill must make it out of committee. The bill must be voted on and passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Then if the bill is signed by the President it will become law.
Only the House of Representatives can INITIATE a bill dealing with revenues, but BOTH the House and the Senate must pass the SAME bill before it can go to the President.
