Ideas for a new law can come from a representative or the citizens. Once the ideas are discussed, the representative conducts their research and drafts the idea into a bill.

After the bill is written, it is proposed to other representatives in expectation to gain a sponsor and support. When that is accomplished, the bill is ready to be introduced.

The bill is introduced in the U.S House of Representatives. The representative will insert the bill into a special box called a hopper. A reading clerk receives the bill and reads it to all the Representatives. After the reading, the Speaker of the House sends the bill to one of the House standing committees.

The bill is then voted on. If a majority of the Representatives approve, the bill passes in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill is then certified by the Clerk of the House and then it is ready to be delivered to the U.S. Senate.

When the bill is received by the U.S Senate, the bill will be analyzed in a senate committee, and then it is sent to the Senate floor where it will be ready to be voted on. If a majority of the Senators approve, the bill will then be ready to go to the president.

Once the president receives the bill, he can either sign and pass the bill and make it a law or refuse to sign which means no law is made.
