1. To answer the first question, we need to understand the process of how bills become laws. Congress consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Public work bills are typically passed by Congress to provide funding for infrastructure projects, such as building roads, bridges, and public facilities. So, the statement that every month Congress passes public work bills is generally true.
2. Moving on to the second question, a roll call vote is a method used to record individual votes on a bill. It is typically conducted in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. However, it is not a speaking vote to decide if a bill should be added. In a roll call vote, members of Congress are called upon individually to cast their vote, usually by stating "yea" (in favor) or "nay" (opposed). Therefore, the statement that a roll call vote is a speaking vote to decide if a bill should be added is false.
3. For the third question, a standing vote is used to determine the support or opposition of a bill. Instead of standing up and explaining why they think a bill should be added, members of Congress simply stand up in favor or against the bill. Other members can visually see the level of support or opposition by observing who stands or remains seated. Therefore, the statement that a standing vote is when those in favor of a bill stand up and explain why they think it should be added is false.
4. Now, looking at the fourth question, it states that senators may not speak for more than a while to discuss a bill because other members need their chance. This is generally true. In both the House of Representatives and the Senate, members have limited time to speak on the floor to discuss a bill or express their views. This limitation ensures that all members have an equal opportunity to participate in the debate and have their voices heard. Therefore, the statement is true.
5. Lastly, the fifth question focuses on the passage of a bill. It states that the Senate and the House must pass a bill in exactly the same form. This statement is false. When a bill is passed by one chamber of Congress, it then goes to the other chamber for consideration. During this process, amendments and changes can be made to the bill. If the two chambers pass different versions of the bill, a conference committee is formed to reconcile the differences and create a single unified bill that must be voted on and passed by both chambers again. Therefore, the statement is false.
