How does a bill become a law?
1. The first step is the introducing of the idea of the bill by basically anyone but only members of Congress can become sponsors of it.
2. The bill is sent to a committee to carefully examine the bill, but if they don't act on it and it is ignored, the bill automatically dies out.
3. Bills are sent to subcommittees to be heard the views of what other people think of the bill. Like the supporters, people who oppose, and political officials of the bill.

4. When the subcommittee is over, they may change certain things about the bill and then send it to the full committee. If they don't send it to the full committee the bill will die.
5. After the bill is sent to the full committee, they vote on whether it should be sent to the Senate or House.
6. After the debate and approval of the bill, the bill may be passed, or it dies.
7. When a bill is passed by the House or Senate, it is passed through the something called a chamber that goes through the process of sending the bill to a committee and subcommittee, where it can be passed or rejected again.
8. A conference committee is held to discuss the differences in the bill between the House and the Senate. If they can reach an agreement on how to change the bill to make it the same again, the bill dies.
9. If the Senate and House agree on an identical form of the bill, it is sent to the President for a signature. If the president does not sign it in 10 days, it automatically become a bill. If congress is not in session and the president does not sign it, the bill dies.
10. The president can veto the bill and then Congress can over-ride that veto with a 2/3 vote from the Senate and The House.
