Answer 2

Before a bill becomes a law,

• It has to undergo through bureaucratic process for it to be adopted.

• The process starts in the House of representatives,
• Followed by the Senate,
• Then the judiciary
• Finally, the president.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intro by Bill

A bill starts as an idea. A citizen or representative must first offer the concept in the House. If the representatives like the proposal, they will draft a bill. In the House, bills are presented in a hopper on the clerk's desk. The clerk numbers the measure before presenting it to the speaker. The speaker will read the measure to the house and then send it to a committee. The committee will determine whether the measure should be debated in the house. The house committee may vote to kill or table the measure.

Bill arrives. After the committee approves a measure, it goes to the house for debate. Section by section, the clerk reads the bill. Legislators will change portions they deem inadequate.
