Which of the following is true about the legislative process?

Question

A bill may skip the second house and go straight to the president with a two-thirds majority in the original house
A bill may get stuck in committee in the House or Senate and never be considered by the full legislature
All bills dealing with foreign trade must start in the senate
Senators are limited to six terms in office, and representatives are limited to two terms in office

Answer 1

The statement that is true about the legislative process is:

A bill may get stuck in committee in the House or Senate and never be considered by the full legislature.

The other statements are not accurate:

• A bill cannot skip the second house; it must generally pass both houses of Congress before going to the president for approval, although there are some exceptions in certain circumstances.
• Bills dealing with foreign trade can start in either the House or the Senate, not exclusively in the Senate.
• Senators are not limited to six terms; they serve six-year terms with no term limits. House representatives serve two-year terms, also without term limits.
