A bill to raise individual taxes is introduced into senate. The bill is given a number and assigned to the senate budget committee for consideration.The bill is recommended for passage and is debated by the full senate. The senate votes unanimously to pass the bill with no amendments, and bill is sent to the house of representatives.
If passed out of the subcomittee, it must still go to the full committee before it can be sent to the floor.
Most bills start in committees. A bill that passes committee is then voted on in the full house or senate. A bill must pass the house and the senate, and then it goes to the president.
A bill is a proposed law that is introduced to Congress by a member of the house or senate and it is assigned to a committee which is then assigned to a subcommittee. After the subcommittee performs studies, holds hearings, makes revisions, and approves it, the bill goes to the full committee. Full committee may amend or rewrite the bill, before deciding whether to send it to the floor of the House or Senate or to kill it. If approved, the bill is reported to the full House/Senate and placed on the calendar. In the House, the rules committee issues a rule governing debate on the House floor and sends the bill to the full house. In the senate, leaders of both parties schedule debate on the bill. The bill is then debated by full House/Senate, amendments are offered and a vote is taken. If the bill passes in a different version from that passed in the Senate or House, it is sent to a conference committee. The conference committee composed of members of both house and senate meet to iron out differences between the bills. The compromise bill is returned to both the house and senate for a vote. Full House/Senate votes on conference committee version. If it passes, the bill is sent to the president. The President signs or vetoes the bill. Congress may override a veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. Then it's a LAW! from Government in America George C. Edwards, Martin P Wattenberg, and Robert L Lineberry
It's given a second reading
It goes to the floor of the body of the house for a vote. Let's say it is in the Senate, goes to committee, and then it goes back to the Senate for a vote. Once that is done it goes to the house and the process starts over.
The Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate determine if and when a bill comes before the full body for debate and amendment, and final passage.
Hagel's S. 190 [109th]: Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. McCain would not support the bill when it was introduced in January 2005. McCain waited On May 25, 2006, John McCain spoke forcefully on behalf of S.190 [109th] Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. On this day, Obama was introducing S.3159: a bill to suspend temporarily the duty on gibberellic acid. The US Senate Banking committee that killed the bill was chaired by Republican Richard Shelby. The committee had 11 Republican and 9 Democrat members. A simple majority vote when at least half the committee members were present was required before the bill could be sent to the full Senate for debate and vote. Nothing the 9 Democrats working together could stop the 11 Republicans from sending the bill to the full Senate, if the Republicans wanted to send the bill to the full Senate. In addition to Sen Hagel sponsoring the bill, co-sponsors Sen Dole and Sen Sununu were also on the US Senate Banking Committee, so they ha 3 votes to send the bill to the full Senate without any help. The ranking Democrat on the Banking Committee was Paul Sarbanes.
