- A bill can go through the House and Senate at the same time. But often, a bill is passed by one house of Congress, then goes to the other for action.
- After a bill passes both houses, it goes to the President, who either can approve or veto(reject) it.
- If the President vetoes a bill, it still can become law-if two thirds of the House and the Senate vote to override it.

The bill is then presented in front of other members of congressStep 4. The bill is then studied. Hearings are held and evidence on the bill is gathered and the committee can add or delete things as they pleaseStep 5. The committee then votes on the bill and if it gets approved the bill is then sent to the SenateStep 6. That house votes, if the bill gets 2/3rd's vote it then moves onto another houseStep 7. After the bill has been studied once again it is voted on once more and passed to the second house.Step 8. The first house considers any changes that were made. If it approves all inspections the bill is then sent to the President.Step 9.

How do you write a bill?
First, you must have an idea of what you want the bill to establish. Then you need to do some research to see if the bill is legalized yet. Then you should draft your bill: it needs a title, (a bill to....) an enacting clause, and the body of the bill. You should define what the bill is about, and you need to tell where the money is coming from. Then you need to find a way so that everyone knows about the law if it is passed. If someone dies not follow your law, there must be a penalty. There should also be an effective date on when the bill should be passed.
