Answer 1

Work with the governor to create a bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The legislative process in a nutshell

• First, a Representative sponsors a bill.
• The bill is then assigned to a committee for study.

• If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate.
