You're welcome!
To determine which statement is false, we can analyze each statement:
1.) Most bills may originate in either house of Congress.
This statement is true. In the U.S. legislative process, bills can indeed originate in either the House of Representatives or the Senate.
2.) To introduce a bill in the House, a representative drops a copy of the bill into a box called the hopper.
This statement is true. When a representative wants to introduce a bill in the House of Representatives, they physically drop a copy of the bill into a box called the hopper.
3.) After a bill is introduced, it can sit for weeks at a time before being assigned to a committee.
This statement is true. After a bill is introduced, it often goes through a process where it sits in a queue and may not be immediately assigned to a committee for further review and consideration. This waiting period can sometimes last for weeks or even longer.
4.) A bill in the House of Representatives must undergo two extra steps before becoming a law.
This statement is false. The process of a bill becoming a law is the same for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A bill must pass through several stages in both chambers before it can be sent to the president for signature or veto.
Therefore, the false statement is:
4.) A bill in the House of Representatives must undergo two extra steps before becoming a law.
