Seperation of Power and Checks and Balances
How a Bill Becomes a Law.
To make a bill into a law is written out for us in the Constitution. However the Constitution only gives you an idea of how to make a bill into a law. It gives you a broad perspective of how to approve a bill and what to do for approval. Most of all the all bills are looked at on a subjective form, thus meaning that whoever creates the bill, approves it and or veto’s it, is all on a someone’s opinion.
To give you a short brief idea of how a bill is processed it must first have reason to be created. Then after long process and rewriting the bill finds itself in front of both houses where it must have both houses give a majority vote. Last but not least for a bill to become a law the president must sign the bill. Now you have a law and the short of the process.
Now to the real process of any bill becoming a law. First of all there has to be reason for a bill to be submitted to become a law. Once we have a reason for a bill to become a law a member of congress will present this to the house. However a constituent, state legislatures and the President may submit a bill. No matter which of these individuals submit the bill the rest of the process is always the same. Although there is one exception to policy with this, any rising revenue much cross through the house and not the senate.
There are committee from both in congress, the House of Represenatives and the Senate which will get broken down into subcommittees. These committees are basically assigned or deal with certain branches or items. The subcommittees will deal with these items and sections with more focus based on specialties of that subcommittee.
All bills cover specific things. For example “laws of gun ownership today” is a bill that is either going to be revised or a new one will be submitted. As we can see there is a subcommittee just for weapons. Once a new bill is brought forth it is introduced and assigned to a committee. This is where the extra tricky portion
