Before a law can become even a bill you need an idea! Members of the U.S can come up with an idea for a bill. Once they come up with their idea it gets sent to the Legislative Branch to the U.S House of Representatives in Congress! Once it gets to Congress a House of Representatives member writes the idea as a bill! That is the first step in making a new law!

Once the House of Representatives member makes it into a bill it is placed into a hopper and it gets introduced to the rest of the members in the House of Representatives. The members then debate the bill and then vote on it.

Once the House of Representatives vote on the bill and vote yes for it to become a law it then get passed to the Senate. The senate is another group part of the Legislative Branch. Once the Senate gets the bill they also debate and discuss the bill and then vote on it! Once the vote gets voted on it is sent to the President of the United States!

Once the bill is sent to the Executive Branch and the President the President can either veto or pass the law. If the President passes the bill then it becomes a law that all citizens must follow!
