Legislative Branch
Once a bill is introduced in either house it goes through a process: Each bill is first assigned to a committee for review
The bill is set aside, if the committee decides the bill is not worthy
The bill is sent to the entire house for debate if the committee decides the bill is worthy of further action
![Page 26: City Life (Citizenship): Laws and Justices. Lesson Goals The students will be able to discuss and illustrate the structure and function of the Constitution:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649ef45503460f94c07e45/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Legislative Branch
The entire house discusses, debates, and votes on the bill
If the bill passes, it is sent to the other house
![Page 27: City Life (Citizenship): Laws and Justices. Lesson Goals The students will be able to discuss and illustrate the structure and function of the Constitution:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649ef45503460f94c07e45/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

A joint committee works out any differences the two houses of Congress have concerning a bill
When both houses agree on a bill, the Speaker of the House and the Vice President sign it

Legislative Branch
If the President doesn't like it, he can veto it and send it back to Congress
Both houses of Congress then have three choices: They can change the bill so it is more to the President's liking
They can agree that the bill will never be passed and let it go
They can vote to override the President’s veto
