Question

If favorably reported from committee, a bill advances to the third step. The bill is read aloud and the floor is opened for debate. During this time, members may be recognized by the presiding officer to ask questions—and they must be phrased as questions.

Amendments may then be offered, but eventually debate ends and the presiding officer calls for a vote. Each member has a switch at his or her desk to cast a "yea" or "nay" vote via their house's electronic voting system. Approval of a bill requires a majority of the total membership of that house—the equivalent of ninety-one yes votes in the House or twenty-nine in the Senate.
