Question

The president, Congress members, lobbies, and even private citizens can propose legislations, but they do so

Answer 1

Answer:

1.       As a Private Citizen

You, as a citizen of the state can propose bills for the country. But in order for this suggestion to be successfully noticed, you must first pass it to a representative of the Congress or one of their staff because only a member of Congress can propose a bill.

2.       As a ‘Lobbyist’

Not anyone can be a lobbyist, it is a term used for registered citizens that seek to change laws by petitions or requests.  They try to influence laws and legislations that they feel are wrong. Lobbyists let the Congress know about the people’s need and tell them how one bill can help or hurt the people they represent.

3.       As a member of Congress

Although only a member of Congress can propose a bill, it does not automatically pass. Before a bill becomes law, it will have to be voted by the House, approved by the Senate and finally by the President.

4.       As the President

The President can also propose or suggest bills but it must still be voted upon by the Senate and Congress and only then will it become a law. The President does not have the power to directly make new bills.
