Storyboard Text
- anyone can go to their official and try to make a law, but a law only starts as a bill and must go along chain of elected members
- that's why i am going to my elected official to ask him to write a bill.
- i think we should have a new law to ban gas cars and only have smart cars.
- their elected official of the state must write a bill to be passed on
- i am writing a bill to be passed on to either congress or the house of representatives.
- i agree with the bill.
- the senators of this state must vote on if the bill should move on, if 51% agrees, the bill continues along
- i disagree.
- i agree.
- i agree.
- since the state senators were able to pass the bill in that state, it moves on to the congress. if it gets 51% it moves on
- i disagree.
- i agree.
- i agree.
- i disagree.
- i agree.
- i agree.
- i disagree.
- i agree.
- i disagree.
- the final place a bill gets taken is the white house. the president can choose to pass or veto a bill. if he veto's a bill it doesn't become a law.
- i'll sign the bill so that we can ban gas cars and only have smart cars now.
- there is 3 other outcomes however
- there is also a pocket veto which means if the congress goes out of session withing 10 days of giving me the bill i can choose not to sign it and it doesn't become a law.
- if i veto the bill will get sent back to congress where they will vote again and its very unlikely that it will become a law unless i change my mind.
- if i don't do anything for 10 days it will automatically become a law.
