How a Bill becomes a Law

Starter • Who is the leader of senate?

Step 1 • • • Starts with an idea from a citizen, member of Congress, or the president. idea sponsored by member of Congress, put into draft form, & introduced into Congress Assigned a number (HR 123)

Step 2 • Bill assigned to Committee. The committee studies, researches, and revises the bill. They can: Send the bill to next step Kill the bill (bill will not become a law) Pigeonhole the bill (set it aside for later)

Step 3 • Subcommittee studies bill, gets citizen input, then has the same options as above (send, kill, or pigeonhole)

Step 4 • Full committee: votes to sent to full House or Senate (which ever one it started in)

Step 5 • • • Bill read to full House or Senate Debated vote (voice, standing, or roll-call)-must have a 2/3 approval to go to next step

Step 6 • • If passes, must go to other house Bill must pass in the same form (no changes can be made) If changes are made must call a Conference committee to work out compromises If changes are approved by both House and Senate, goes to next step

Step 7 • Sent to President for final approval , he/she can: *sign bill into law *Pocket veto (put aside, if after 10 days Congress is in session it becomes a law, if not in session it dies *Veto (refusal to sign it into law)

Step 8 • If vetoed by president, Congress can override the veto but 2/3 vote in each house. Very difficult to achieve.
