How a Bill Becomes a Law

The typical path from introduction to law. Every bill's actual journey (above) may skip steps or stop early — most never make it past committee.

  1. 1
    Introduced

    A member files the bill in the House or Senate.

  2. 2
    Committee Review

    Referred to committee for hearings, markup, and a vote to advance it.

  3. 3
    Floor Vote

    The full chamber debates and votes on passage.

  4. 4
    Second Chamber

    If passed, it repeats committee review and a floor vote in the other chamber.

  5. 5
    Resolve Differences

    If the chambers pass different versions, a conference reconciles them.

  6. 6
    Sent to President

    The reconciled bill is enrolled and delivered to the White House.

  7. 7
    Signed or Vetoed

    Becomes law with a signature, or automatically after 10 days.

A veto can still be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both chambers. And once a bill is signed into law, further changes come from new amending legislation — not edits to the original text.
