Question

Which legislative tool would a senator most likely use to ensure a bill she supports becomes law even though the house and senate passed substantially different versions of the bill?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Senator may convene a Conference Committee

Explanation:

A Conference Committee is something that any member of the Senate or the House of Representatives can convene in order to mediate and resolve any difference between the legislations.

Answer 2

When the house and senate passed substantially different versions of a bill, a senator can convene a Conference Committee, which is a temporary panel composed of senior members of both chambers, called "managers", and appointed by presiding officers of the Senate.

In the Conference Committee, representatives of each chamber work together to reconcile their difference in order to reach a compromise. if a compromise is reached, the managers prepare a conference report and then they send it to each chamber. Once the conference report is approved by the chambers, the bill is sent to the President for signature and becomes a law.
