Process of laws

1. If A Senator or Representative has an idea for a new law, he/she produces a rough draft of the idea and sponsors it, which makes it a bill.
2. The bill then goes to whichever legislative branch (Senate or House) the Senator or Representative belongs.
3. The bill then goes through a process, which can change it, amend, or lay it so there is no vote.
4. If the bill undergoes a vote by the entire legislative branch, a majority vote will send it to the other branch where it will go through a similar process.
5. If there is a majority vote and both the House and the Senate approve all changes made, the bill then goes to the President.
6. The President takes action on the bill by either signing it into law, letting it become law without a signature, vetoing it, or pocket-vetoing it.
