How are bills passed in Congress?

Can you explain how a bill becomes a law in Congress?

Sure! The process starts when a bill is introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate.

What happens after a bill is introduced?

After introduction, the bill is assigned to a committee for review, where it can be debated and amended.

And then what happens if the committee approves it?

If approved, the bill goes to the floor for a vote. If it passes, it moves to the other chamber for consideration.

What if both chambers pass different versions of the bill?

In that case, a conference committee is formed to reconcile the differences before sending it back for final approval.

How does the bill finally become law?

Once both chambers agree on the final version, it is sent to the President, who can sign it into law or veto it.
