The rules of debate are more restrictive in the House of Representatives because there are more members therefore time limits must be imposed to effectively manage and make decisions. If there were no time limits on debates it could bring about a standstill.

All revenue bills must start in the House of Representatives. Represenatives do not have unlimited time to talk on the floor.

Senators have no time limits and may talk indefinately unless there is a cloture vote in which other members of the Senate vote to halt discussions of the current item before the Senate.


What step is in the house but not in the senate of making a bill a law?

The step that occurs in the House but not in the Senate is the "Rules Committee" process. After a bill is introduced in the House, it must go through the Rules Committee, which sets the terms for debate and amendments. The Senate does not have a Rules Committee; instead, it generally allows for more open debate and amendments on the floor. This difference influences how bills are managed and debated in each chamber.
