Sponsors: person/people who write the bill
Co-sponsors:other congressmen who want to support bill without being involved in its writing.
Step 5: Reconciliation time
Step 6: 2nd vote
Step 4: The other chamber
Bill goes through same process in Senate.
Conference committee formed to reconcile the two different versions of the bill.
-House and senate vote on the version-NOT open to riders, amendments, or changes at this time.
Committee is where bills go to die. often tabled or never brought up for consideration.
Lobbying- when a person advocates for an industry/business in order to sway or influence the government.
Riders- an additional provision added to a bill or other measure under the consideration by a legislature, has little connection with the bill. Created as a tactic to pass a controversial provision that would not pass as its own bill.
Step 7: The white house
Step 8: Supermajority or bust
a vetoed bill is sent back to congress where a 2/3rds votecan override a prez veto, passing the bill.
The President signs or vetos the bill.
