How does a bill move through the house of representatives?

Answer 1

The bill is introduced into the House of Representatives when it is placed in a special box called a hopper, on the side of the clerk's desk. A bill clerk will then assign the bill with a number and then a reading clerk will read the bill to the Representatives. The Speaker of the House will then send the bill to one of the House standing committees. When the bill has been approved by the committee, it is sent back to the House of Representatives for debate and then voted on. When the bill get sent to the President and is vetoed, it will then be sent back to the House of Representatives and the bill may be voted into a law.

Answer 2

It starts as an Idea. When people want it as a law they call there local congress man. He introduces it to the congress and then it becomes a bill, and then they discuss it in committee a lot of debating goes on to pass the law or to stop it. If it passes committee then it goes to congress and they have to have a majority vote of yes. Then the bill goes to the White House and the president will have to sign it.

Answer 3

First the bill gets introduce to a senator. then it goes through the first reading at the senate then it gets sent to three main committees then if all three committees pass the bill without changes the bill and the senate votes and the majority is for it the bill comes back for a second reading at the senate at the third reading the amendments may be proposed all that it takes to pass an amendment is a simple majority vote. after the third reading any final amendments are passed and the Bill is sent to the house where they do the same thing. but if the house doesn't pass the amendments the bill gets sent back to the senate and vice versa. if the bill passes both chambers it is sent to the president to either pass, veto or don't do anything for a certain number of days the bill automatically passes.
