First, a bill has to be launched by a member in the Senate or The House of Representatives. Then it is shown to a committee to be talked over and could possibly be held at public hearings where they can pass, reject, or just take no action at all. After that it is referred to a subcommittee to be looked over and the opinions of the executive branch and other professionals can be recorded. It is then sent to be altered in a meeting with the subcommittee. The full committee will then vote on the bill to be sent to the House or Senate. Once it is approved with the alterations it is passed by the members voting. It will repeat those steps in the other chamber if it is passed by the House and Senate. In the next step they form a conference committee that is a mixture of the House and Senate. They are to agree and compromise about the bill. Both House and Senate have to confirm the bill. The bill finally goes to the president where he will decide if it will be vetoed or approved. If he decides to veto, the congress may try to override, but only if they have a two-thirds
