How a Bill Becomes a Law By: Tony Byrd
You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is? Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage. Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some Old folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, "You're right, there should be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law. Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that debating about
Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hopethey decide to report on me favor, otherwise I may die.  Yeah, die in committee. But it looks like I'm gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me. If they vote yes, what happens? Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.
You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no? Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it? No!  He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!
