The accurate explanation of the process for a bill to become a law is the following sequence:
Step 1: Bill Introduced
A bill is introduced by either body of Congress (House or Senate).
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 4: Other Chamber Review
After the bill passes the House or Senate, it then goes to the other body to go through the same committee process of research, debate, and voting.
Step 5: House and Senate Vote
Both the House and the Senate must vote on the same exact bill. If it passes, they present it to the president.
Step 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.
This sequence highlights the critical steps involved in the legislative process in the United States Congress.
