How a rule is made or how a bill becomes a law. First of all, every law or rule starts with an idea, this idea can come from anyone, if someone wants to make this idea a law they write a bill. A bill can then become introduced, the bill can be introduced to the House of Congress, a Senator or a Representative. After this, the bill goes to the committee. Here the Senators or Representatives meet to talk about the bill and make changes if needed, here they also decide whether to accept or reject it. If the majority voted to accept the bill it moves onto the next house to go through a similar process, both houses then have to agree on the same bill version before it gets sent to the president. When the4 bill reaches the president they have three options, veto it, choose do nothing, or pocket veto the bill. The president can veto or reject the bill, sending it back to the House of Congress with reasons for vetoing it. In this case, the House of Congress can override the president's opinion if they get a 2/3 vote from both the house and senate. The president can also decide to take no action, in this case, if Congress is in session after ten days without an answer from the president, the bill automatically becomes a law. A pocket veto is when Congress adjourns or goes out of session before the ten day period after giving the president the bill, the president can choose not to sign the bill and it will not become a law.
