Question

Outline the process of how a bill passes through Congress. Include the procedure if the bill is amended after having passed either the House of Representatives or the Senate.

Answer 1

Answer:

First, a representative sponsors a bill. The bill is then assigned to a committee for study. If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended. If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate.
