In Congress, voting on resolutions typically involves several steps. First, a resolution is introduced and referred to a committee, which may hold hearings and debate the resolution before voting on whether to send it to the full chamber. Once on the floor, members debate the resolution, and amendments may be proposed. Finally, a vote is taken, which can be conducted by voice vote, division vote, or recorded vote, depending on the circumstances and the significance of the resolution.
Delegates for Congress are typically selected through a combination of primary elections and party caucuses, where party members choose their representatives based on the respective party's rules. Once elected, these delegates participate in the legislative process, which includes debating and voting on resolutions. A resolution is usually introduced, followed by discussions and amendments; then, a vote is taken, often requiring a simple majority for approval. The specific procedures can vary between the House of Representatives and the Senate, but the general process remains similar.
