For the answer to the question above, an Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is a short story written by eternal pessimist Ambrose Bierce in 1890. It's set in the Civil War, 30 years prior.
Bierce actually fought in the Civil War, he was enlisted for the Union's 9th regiment and was active at the Battle of Shiloh. That being said, Bierce has real life experience with war, something that is really reflected in Owl Creek Bridge. He sees that the war is treacherous and brutal. The events that seemingly occur are highly romanticized, as war is often portrayed by the government, media, etc. However, the ending is the biggest key into Bierce's thoughts on war. War and death can not be dramatized, they can only be realized as a cold and unforgiving force.

Answer:
There are a couple of things that can occur:
1)The bill would be struck down by votes in either the House of Representative (HR) or in the Senate (S).
- If the bill does not garner enough support or votes, the vote will die in the the corresponding house.
2) The bill will be veto and/or line veto by the President.
- The bill would be automatically vetoed, which would be returned to both houses to be passed if they get 2/3 votes in each congress. Line veto can be used when they pass the bill but WOULD NOT enforce PARTS of the law.
3) Law is declared Unconstitutional.
- The third branch of government, the Supreme Court, can void the law and declare the law unconstitutional.
4) Popular Opinion: On certain occasions, Citizens of the US can try Direct Democracy, in which if they gather enough signatures or supporters, they can force the government to reconsider their choice.
