Question

Outline the process of how a bill passes through Congress. Include the procedure if the bill is amended after having passed either the House of Representatives or the Senate.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The bill can be sponsered by more than one member of congress , including both chambers. However the president of the senate or the vice president can not sponser the bill. The fist thing they do is give the bill either a "S" or a "HR" bepending on where it started. For this example is will start in the senate.  After the "S" and number then they vote to see how long the debate about the bill will last .Next they will send the bill to a committee. Once the bill is approved by the committee the bill is sent to the floor of the senate .There the bill can be voted to be either approved or denied . If the bill if approved then then they will send it to the House of Representatives if they make any changes then the bill is sent back to the Senate for approval.  If the bill is approved then the bill is sent to the President.
