Bill to law
By: Jake and Carolina
Idea
Where can the idea come from? I, as a citizen think the government shouldn't be allowed to look at what we do on any kind of electronic device because we should be able to do whatever we want
Introduction
Who can introduce it? The president has privacy too and also has freedom to do what he want but with the government looking at everything we do, who are we to stop them, but the president is higher up than the government, he's president of this entire U.S Nation
Committee Stage
After bill is introduced, it is sent to the standing committee that is related to the subject of the bill. What options does the committee have? 1. pass the bill, 2. mark up a bill with changes and suggest that it be passed, 3. replace the original bill with a new bill, 4.ignore the bill and pigeon hole or kill it, 5. kill the bill outright by majority vote.
