In the United States, a bill becomes law following these steps:

First, a member of Congress introduces a bill. The piece of legislation is referred to as the appropriate committee. Then, it is placed on the calendar of the house to be debated. This is when the bill gets to the Floor. The House of Representatives debated and the n, the Senate debate. If there are differences, a conference committee meets and reach an agreement. Then Congress passes the bill to the Executive to sign it. The President can veto the bill and is returned to Congress. If the President signs the bill, it became law.
