The correct sequence for a bill to become a law is more accurately captured in the following steps:
Bill Introduced: A bill is introduced by either body of Congress (House or Senate).
Committee Review: The bill is assigned to a committee, where it is researched, debated, and may be amended before going to the full chamber.
Chamber (House or Senate) Review: The bill goes to the floor of the chamber for debate and voting. If it passes, it moves to the other chamber.
Other Chamber Review: The bill is sent to the other body (House or Senate) and goes through a similar committee process of research, debate, and voting.
Reconciliation (if necessary): If the second chamber makes changes, the bill returns to the original chamber for concurrence or goes to a conference committee to reconcile differences.
House and Senate Vote: Both the House and Senate vote on the same exact bill (or reconciled version) and if it passes, it is presented to the president.
Presidential Review: The president then considers the bill and will either approve it and sign it into law, veto it, or take no action (which has different implications depending on the timing).
Out of the options you provided, the closest correct sequence appears to be the one that includes "Bill Introduced," "Committee Review," "Chamber Review," "Other Chamber Review," and concludes with "Presidential Review."
Please double-check that the sequence consistently follows these key steps, as some options have inaccuracies or misordered steps.
