Question

Consider the following four steps of the legislative process: conference committee is convened, floor vote, proposal, referral to subcommittee. List these four steps in the order in which they usually occur.

Answer 1

Answer: the correct answer is proposal, referral to subcommittee, floor vote, conference committee is convened

Explanation:

This is mainly the Process of Lawmaking. First, a bill must be proposed. Then, it must be referred to committee, and subsequently to a subcommittee. A chamber typically will only consider a bill on the floor if it passes all of the connected committee votes. A conference committee is convened if the House and the Senate pass different versions of the same bill, which they need to harmonize.
