Which of the following accurately explains the process for a bill to become a law?(1 point)
The following accurately explains the process for a bill to become a law:
1. Introduction: A bill is introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate.
2. Committee Review: The bill is assigned to a committee where it is reviewed, amended, and debated. If approved, it is sent to the full chamber for further consideration.
3. Floor Debate and Vote: The bill is debated and voted upon by the members of the chamber. If the majority votes in favor, the bill proceeds to the other chamber for consideration.
4. Same Process in Other Chamber: The bill goes through a similar process in the other chamber, including committee review, floor debate, and vote.
5. Conference Committee: If both chambers pass different versions of the bill, a conference committee is formed to reconcile the differences and create a single compromised version.
6. Final Vote: The compromised version of the bill is presented to both chambers for a final vote. If approved, it goes to the President.
7. Presidential Action: The President can either sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action. If vetoed, the bill can still become law if both chambers vote to override the veto by a two-thirds majority.
8. Law: If the bill is signed by the President or the President takes no action and the Congress is still in session, it becomes law.
