The correct sequence for a bill to become a law in the United States involves several important stages. First, an idea for a new law is introduced by a member of Congress in either the House of Representatives or the Senate. It is then assigned to a committee where it undergoes thorough review, debate, and amendments. If the committee approves the bill, it is presented to the full chamber for further debate and voting. If it passes in one chamber, it proceeds to the other for a similar process. Once both chambers pass an identical version, the bill is sent to the president. The president can either sign it into law or veto it. However, if the president vetoes the bill, Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers. This rigorous journey through the legislative process ensures careful deliberation before a bill transforms into a law, shaping the nation's governance.
