In the creation of a law, it has to pass through many steps and be passed by several different people. Laws first start out as an idea. Someone gets an idea about a new law that could potentially better society. The idea can be made by even an ordinary citizen. Office of Clerk reports, “These ideas may also come from a Representative.” Once the citizen has an idea, they contact their Representative and if the Representative thinks it is a good law, the bill is then wrote. Once the bill has been written, it needs support from other Representatives. If the bill gets the support, it is then introduced by being placed in the hopper. Office of Clerk states, “The hopper is a special box on the side of the clerk’s desk. Only Representatives can introduce bills in the U.S. House of Representatives.” Once the bill is introduced it is given a number. It is then read to all Representatives and is then sent to the House committee. Office of Clerk states, “Once the bill reaches committee, they review, research, and revise the bill before voting on whether or not to send the bill back to the House floor.” Sometimes more information is needed for the bill before it is sent back to the House floor. If this happens, it is sent to a subcommittee who extensively examines and gives professional opinions before it is sent back to committee. Once the committee has approved the bill, it is then sent to the House floor where it is debated over. Office of Clerk states, “When the bill is debated, Representatives discuss the bill and explain why they agree or disagree with it. Then the reading clerk reads the bill section by section and recommended changes are made.” Once all changes are made, the bill is then voted on. To vote on a bill, there are three ways it can be done. First is a voice vote in which the Representatives voice there vote of yes or no.
