After a bill is introduced in Congress, it goes to...?

Question

A.The President
B.a commitee and sub commitee
C.a conference commitee

A right?

Answer 1

Committees and sub commitees decide if there should be any hearings on the bill. If not then it can die in committee. If the bill passes the committee (hearing or not) then it goes to the floor for a vote. Bills involving taxes or raising revenue for the government must originate in the House of Representatives.

Once the bill passes a vote then it has to go to the second house for a vote. In the case of most bills a simple majority will win, in the case of an amendment to the constitution then a two-thirds vote is required.

If the bill doesn’t pass the second house or if the bill is passed in a different form then it passes to a joint committee composed of members of both houses. Congressmen love to add riders to bills, especially important ones. A rider is an “and also” tacked on to the bill. The bill must pass in its entire form so this is a good way to slip in some private projects. Congressmen like to add in projects that raise money for their own state often called “pork.”

Only after the bill comes out of Congress does it go to the President for signing.

Answer 2

the answer is b. because:
1. When a Representative has an idea for a new law, s/he becomes the sponsor of that bill and introduces it by giving it to the clerk of the House or by placing it in a box, called the hopper. The clerk assigns a legislative number to the bill, with H.R. for bills introduced in the House and S. for bills introduced in the Senate. The Government Printing Office (GPO) then prints the bill and distributes copies to each representative.

2. Next, the bill is assigned to a committee (the House has 22 standing committees, each with jurisdiction over bills in certain areas) by the Speaker of the House so that it can be studied. The standing committee (or often a subcommittee) studies the bill and hears testimony from experts and people interested in the bill. The committee then may release the bill with a recommendation to pass it, or revise the bill and release it, or lay it aside so that the House cannot vote on it. Releasing the bill is called reporting it out, while laying it aside is called tabling.
