How Are U.S. Law Created?
We all know that law is like a rule, which must be followed on a national level. Now, how are they are made in the U.S? Let us find out! Laws are suggested in congress; when someone in the House of Representatives or the Senate wants to make a law, they write a bill. A bill is like an early draft of the proposed law. Every congress lasts for only two years. In between them, the senators and the representatives introduce thousands of bills, from which only a few of them are approved. The bill has to be voted on by both houses. After they voted them, the bill goes to the President, who will choose whether to sign it or not. If the President doesn't sign it, it goes back to the house, by the veto's name. The bill is then voted, and if it receives 2/3rd of the vote, it becomes a law.
