What are the steps for a bill to become law?

Can you explain the steps a bill goes through to become a law?

Sure! The process typically involves several key steps: introduction, committee review, floor debate, voting, and then it goes to the president.

What happens during the committee review?

During committee review, the bill is examined in detail, and members can suggest changes or amendments before it goes to the floor.

How does the voting process work?

Voting usually occurs after the debate. Members vote either in favor or against the bill, and it needs a majority to pass.

What if the president vetoes the bill?

If the president vetoes the bill, Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both houses.

Are there any other ways a bill can become law?

Yes, a bill can also become law if the president does not sign it within 10 days while Congress is in session.
