Storyboard Text
- Hey Janet. I have a idea for a law. I think we should make a law so that employers could contribute to employee student loans!
- That's a good idea Scott. It would help employees that can't pay for their own loan or need help paying it a lot!
- I have a idea for a law! Here's my bill.
-
- I law starts of as a idea. An idea for law is called a bill. A bill starts off by getting introduced. People who can introduce bills are representatives, state legislatures, the people, and the executive branch. Scott is telling Janet his idea for a law. Janet thinks it's a great idea.
- After a bill has been introduced it gets sent to committee. The committees research to study if the bill is worth getting sent to the House of Representatives for a vote. Scott is sending the bill to committee.
- After the bill has been studied by committee it gets discussed/debated by the entire house. If it starts in the House of Reps then it will go to the"House Floor". It needs a 218/435 vote to move on. If it starts in the Senate then it will be debated in the Senate. It needs 51/100 votes to move on.
- This is a good idea for law! I'm gonna sign this bill!
-
- After the vote, the bill will go to the other house of Congress.
- Now it's at the conference committee. The confrence committee makes it match before going to the president.
- After it comes from the conference committee it goes to the president. For the bill to become a law the president has to sign the bill. The president can also veto the bill meaning forbid it from becoming a law. Congress can override the vote with 2/3 majority vote.
