The proponents of the suffering memo believe that waterboarding was an acceptable interrogation technique because They claimed that the president had the authority to do whatever he thought necessary to get information in the global war on terrorism.

<h3> What is waterboarding ?</h3>
  • Waterboarding is a form of torture in which water is poured over a cloth protecting the face and breathing passages of an immobilized captive, causing the person to experience the feeling of drowning.
  • In the most common method of waterboarding, the captive's face is coated with cloth or some other thin material and immobilized on their back at an angle of 10 to 20 degrees
  • Torturers pour water onto the face over the breathing passages, generating an almost instantaneous gag reflex and creating a drowning sensation for the captive

Steps on how the bills turn into laws
scZoUnD [109]

1. Bill is Drafted: Members of Congress, the Executive Branch, and even outside groups can draft (write or draw up) bills.

2. Introduced in House: Representative introduces the bill in the House. Only members can introduce bills.

3. Sent to Committee: The Speaker of the House sends the bill to a committee.

4. Committee Action: Most bills die here. The committee may pigeonhole, table, amend, or vote on the bill. If bill passes, it goes to Rules Committee.

5, Rules Committee: It decides the rules for debate, and when the bill will come up for debate.

6. Floor Action: House debates the bill, and may add amendments. If a majority votes in favor of the bill, it goes to the Senate.

7. Introduced in Senate: A Senator introduces the bill, which is sent to a committee.

8. Committee Action: Same procedure as in the House. If the committee majority votes for the bill, it goes to the whole Senate.

9. Bill Called Up: Majority floor leader decides when the whole Senate will consider the bill.

10. Floor Action: The Bill is debated, and amendments may be added. If a majority votes in favor of the bill, it is returned to the House.

11. Conference Committee: If the House rejects any of the changes, the bill goes to a conference committee of members from both houses. It works out a compromise.

12.Vote on Compromise: Both houses must approve changes made by the conference committee. If approved, the bill goes to the president.

13. Presidential Action: The president may sign (approve) the bill or veto (reject) it. If approved, it becomes law.

14. Vote to Override: If the president vetoes the bill, it can still become law if two thirds of both houses vote to override the veto.
