the bill is sent to the house.

The bill is sent to the house. It is the next step in the law-making process after a bill is drafted.

There are some important steps in the law-making process. A bill can be introduced to either the senate of the house. However, money bills can only be introduced in the House.

Anyone can draft a bill, but the power to introduce it to the house only lies on the members of the House. After a bill is introduced to the floor of the house, it is incumbent on the speaker to send the bill to the appropriate committee.

At this stage, the committee will act on the bill. Most bills die in committee if the committee votes it down but if the committee’s vote favors the bill, it moves to the Rule Committee.

The rules committee will work out the rule for the debate and also come up with the exact date such bill will be debated.

At this stage, the bill will be introduced to the floor of the house and the necessary amendment would follow, and if the majority of the members of the house vote to support the bill, the bill will move to the senate.

In the Senate, the bill will be introduced by a senator and it will be sent to a committee. The committee will act it and if the majority votes in support of the bill, it moves to the floor of the senate.

At this stage, the senate majority leader will decide when the bill will be debated on the floor of the senate. The whole senate will debate on the bill and make the necessary amendment and if the majority of the senators also vote to support the bill, the bill is sent back to the House of Representatives.

If the house rejects any alteration made to the bill by the Senate, the bill will be sent to the conference committee of members to reach a compromise and if both houses agreed to the changes, the bill is will be transmitted to the president.

The president may decide to sign or veto the bill and if it is approved, it becomes a law

However, if the president vetoes (reject) the bill, it can still become a law if two-thirds members of both houses votes to override the president’s veto.

The correct answer is the option D: the bill is sent to the House.

Explanation:

The whole process of making a new law starts with an idea that could come from every person, that idea becomes a bill written and later is introduced to any of the both houses of Congress by its main sponsor who can be a representative or either a senator.

The next step is to take that bill to committee where representatives or senators meet to research and argue about the bill and its possible changes. There they vote to accept or to reject the bill and later sent it to the camera that is left, therefore could be either the House or Representatives or th Senate. In that situation, the corresponsal camera talk about the bill and decides whether to accept it, reject it or sent it to the first camera for further changes.

Finally, if the both houses approve the bill then this one is sent to the president to sign it into law or either reject it.
