Veto/ an act made by the president rejecting a bill to pass into a law
Filibustering/ was made with the intent to make sure all sides of an argument are heard. This act can go on for many hours as long as the filibusterer doesn’t leave the stand. This can be overridden by a “closure” meaning 60 out of a 100 member senate agree to not hear out the filibuster.
Pocket Veto/ A pocket Veto happens if the president fails to act on a bill being passed to one’s desk within 10 days.
Rider (non-germane)/ A bill rider is when a house/senate member adds on an additional clause to a bill that is not relevant to the general idea of the bill.
In order for a bill to become federal law, the bill must start in the house or the senate. From there, depending on which the bill started in, it will need to go to the other house. Then from the house/senate the bill goes to the Supreme Court and they are able to deem the bill constitutional or unconstitutional. If the bill is deemed constitutional, it gets passed to the president where they are able to determine if they want the bill to come into act as a law. If the president doesn’t act on the bill in 10 days, the bill becomes pocket vetoed.
