A Bill is Drafted

I'm thinking we should make a law for free ice cream every Friday

That sounds like a good idea!

Laws begin with an Idea. Citizens who have ideas for laws can talk to their Representatives and talk about their idea.

This bill is for free ice-cream every Friday

Hey, can you help me sponsor this bill?

Yea sure!

Now that this representative wrote this bill. It will need a sponsor. Once a bill has a sponsor and the support of some of the Representatives, it is ready to be introduced.

Senate 1

Senate 2

This bill sounds very good!

The Bill Is soon referred to the senate. . The bill is discussed in a Senate committee and then reported to the Senate floor to be voted on.

Free ice cream every Friday

This bill next goes to the President. The president has 3 choices:

1.) Sign the Bill

2.) Refuse to sign, or veto, the bill

3.) Do nothing (pocket veto)
