Homework #1 (MP2)

The video basically states that..
Before it became a bill, some people wanted a law to be passed, so they called up the local congressmen and once he agreed to this being a law, he wrote it up and sent in up to the congress. Once hes sent there he has to wait in committee while other congressmen discuss and debate whether or not it should become a law. If they vote yes then the bill is then sent up to the house of representatives. Once the house of representatives agrees to it then its sent up to the senate where the process begins all over again.

If the whole congress agrees to the bill turning into a law then it is sent up to the president. If the president veto's the law than is is sent back to congress where the whole entire process will have to start over. And by that time many years would have already passed. But if the president signs it then it will then be a law. So just to recap, the bill is made up by a local congressmen in which it is then sent to the congress. After the committee agrees to it then the bill moves on to the house of representatives and if they agree then it moves on to the senate where it re-lives the process and if agreed to there the president must sign it and it will then be a law. yay.
