The factors that make a bill come a law is bankruptcy protection could find it much harder to escape their debts if a bill recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives is signed into law.
For the second question is it easy or difficult I think it's difficult becuase Congress has the power of oversight—the ability to monitor or review the activities of the agencies and departments of the executive branch. Some advantages are Passing legislation to quickly is bad, good legisaltion needs to be looked at to try to figure out the consequences. Unfortunately alot of the time the legisaltures say we will revisit it and amend it in the future.
Sometimes the future never comes where they do not get chance to revisit it or make the right changes they wanted to before.
But in no means does this mean the other side should be able to filibuster the bill to death, or delay it enough so the timing is wrong so the bill will not pass.
Fundraising begins of day 1 in office. It takes more and more money to run, and lots more after you make it through the primaries.
Anytime politicians have so much money by lobbyists they will owe them a favor.
This has anegative effect, the politicans where elected for the people, and not the lobbyists or the interest paying the lobbyist.

To assess the likelihood of a bill becoming law, several factors come into play. It's important to note that the legislative process can vary across countries or jurisdictions, but here are some general factors that can influence the outcome:
Factors that make it more likely for a bill to become law:
1. Strong support: A bill backed by influential lawmakers, interest groups, or the public has a higher chance of success.
2. Bipartisanship: Bills that secure support from both major political parties tend to have a greater chance of passing.
3. Committee approval: If a bill successfully passes through committee review, it is more likely to proceed to a vote.
4. Public opinion: Public support or pressure can sway lawmakers and increase the chances of a bill being passed.
5. Legislative agenda: Bills aligned with the current priorities of the legislative body are more likely to gain traction.
Factors that make it less likely for a bill to become law:
1. Opposition: If key stakeholders, lawmakers, or interest groups strongly oppose a bill, it can significantly reduce its chances of success.
2. Partisan divides: Bills that become highly politicized can face resistance and struggle to achieve consensus.
3. Complexity: Bills with intricate provisions or technical implications can face hurdles in gaining broad support or understanding.
4. Scheduling: Limited time on the legislative calendar or a congested agenda can diminish the chances of a bill being passed.
5. Legislative process: The number of steps and hurdles within the legislative process can make passing a bill more challenging.
The ease or difficulty of passing a bill can vary based on the specific circumstances and political climate. In general, passing a bill can be a complex process that requires a significant amount of negotiation, compromise, and coordination among lawmakers.
Advantages of passing legislation quickly:
1. Address urgent issues: Timely passage allows for the prompt resolution of pressing concerns, such as national emergencies or economic crises.
2. Demonstrates effectiveness: Swift action can showcase a government's ability to respond efficiently, leading to public confidence and trust.
3. Prevents further problems: Prompt legislation can help prevent the escalation of an issue and minimize potential negative consequences.
Disadvantages of passing legislation quickly:
1. Lack of thorough review: Rushing through the legislative process may lead to oversight, unintended consequences, or poorly crafted policies.
2. Limited public input: Quick passage can limit the opportunity for public engagement or input on important matters.
3. Partisan consequences: Rapid action may amplify partisan divides and hinder collaboration, leading to a less cohesive legislative outcome.
4. Consideration of unintended consequences: Hasty decision-making may overlook potential negative impacts or unintended outcomes.
