After a bill passes the Senate committee, it moves to the full Senate for debate and voting. Senators can propose amendments during the debate, and a majority vote is needed for the bill to advance. If passed by the Senate, the bill then goes to the House of Representatives for consideration. If both chambers approve the bill, it is sent to the President for final approval or veto.
