How a Bill Becomes a Law
If you want to pass a bill, just follow this process.
Every bill starts small as a suggestion or idea.
Only after it is proposed as a bill is it treated like a bill.
After being introduced, the bill is sent to a committee.
If the committee finally agrees to pass the bill, it will move up the chain to the House and the Senate.
It goes to the House first and then the Senate
After the Senate approves it goes to the President
The final step in a bill becoming a law is the President's signature. Once the President signs the bill, then it is officially a law
The President can veto a bill. Even though the President seems all high and mighty, the veto can be overridden or overruled.
