Final answer:
Before a full Senate vote on a bill, there is a debate, committee vote, and then a vote by the Senators.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the full Senate votes on a bill, it goes through several steps:
- The bill is debated by the Senators.
- The Senate committee votes on the bill.
- If the bill is approved by the committee, it is then sent to the full Senate for a vote.
Once the Senators vote on the bill, it may then proceed to the other chamber of Congress (in this case, the House of Representatives) for further consideration, debate, and voting.
