The accurate explanation of the legislative process for a bill to become a law is as follows:

  1. Bill Introduced: A bill is introduced by either body of Congress (House or Senate).

  2. Committee Review: The bill is assigned to a committee. Committee members conduct research and discuss any changes to the bill they feel are necessary.

  3. Chamber (House or Senate) Review: The bill goes to chamber review, where House or Senate members debate or make changes to the text before voting.

  4. Other Chamber Review: After passing in one chamber (House or Senate), the bill is sent to the other chamber, where it undergoes a similar process of committee review, debate, and voting.

  5. House and Senate Vote: Both the House and the Senate vote on the same exact version of the bill.

  6. Presidential Review: The president then considers the bill and will either approve it and sign it into law, veto it, or take no action.
