1.

Congress has the power to : Make laws, Declare war,Raise and provide
public money and oversee its proper expenditure, Impeach and try federal
officers, Approve presidential appointments, Approve treaties negotiated by
the executive branch and lastly, Oversight and investigations.

2. There are 16 steps on how a Law was made and these are as follows:

Step 1.The legislative process begins with the introduction of a bill to

Congress, which must be done by a member of Congress, though anyone can
write a bill.
Step 2.The bill is then referred to committee first to a subcommittee, where it
can be accepted, amended, or rejected, then to a full committee
Step 3.If the bill is reported to the floor of the House or Senate, its
consideration is scheduled by the majority leadership.
Step 4.Debate in the House is very structured: members have only a few
minutes to speak and the kind and number of amendments is limited.
Step 5.Debate in the Senate is generally unlimited and any amendment may
be introduced.
Step 6.Senators can use the filibuster to delay vote on a bill.
Step 7.A filibuster can be broken by a vote of cloture by three-fifths of the
Senate.
Step 8.With the end of debate, a simple majority vote can pass the bill.
Step 9.A bill must pass both houses of Congress with identical language
before it can be sent for the president’s approval.
Step 10.To resolve differences between House and Senate versions of a bill,
a conference committee, with members from both houses, is convened.
Step 11.A negotiated version, called the conference report, which is intended
as the final version of the bill, is then returned to both chambers for a vote.
Step 12.If it passes in both houses, it is sent to the president.
Step 13.The president can sign the bill into law or veto and return it to
Congress.
Step 14.A presidential veto of a bill can be overturned by a two-thirds vote in
each chamber.
Step 15.If the president takes no action on a bill for 10 days, the bill enters
into law.
Step 16.If Congress adjourns before the 10 days pass, the president can
pocket veto the bill by taking no action and forcing a restart of the legislative
process.

3. Bill is a plan of action, while resolution is a statement expressing the

opinion of the chamber.

4. A bill may become a law, even without the President's signature, if the
President does not sign a bill within 30 days from receipt in his office. A bill
may also become a law without the President's signature if Congress
overrides a presidential veto by two-thirds vote.

5. A bill that hasn't been signed by the President is a bill that has been vetoed.
To override the veto, both members from the Senate and the House must
have a two-thirds majority vote to make the bill become a law without the
President's signature.

6. I , as an ordinary citizen can propose a bill to the Congress by simply doing

the following . First,the bill proposal should be written in sections. At the
beginning of the proposal, I will describe the issue. Next , I will discuss the
benefits of the bill proposal and give examples.And lastly , I will give a
detailed explanation of the costs involved in the bill and finally summarize the
main points and benefits of the bill.

7. There are many reasons. These are : The bill isn't written right, no sponsors,
disagreements concerning the need, too costly, only benefits a particular
group, a bill all ready exists like it, and the committee can't compromise on the
issue.
8. Representatives and Senators both introduce legislation, debate it, vote on
it, and perform various constituent services, from tracking down lost
government checks to writing letters of recommendation for the service
academies. The only difference is that Senators represent entire States and
Representatives represent parts of States if they're big enough to rate more
than one. One other difference: tax bills must originate in the House of
Representatives.

9. I will rate it 6 because they’ve accomplished very little. Sometimes that’s

not all bad. Passing legislation is only good when it’s good laws. Congress
has a habit of passing bad laws, and that isn’t good.
10. If you want to become a lawmaker, my first suggestion is to learn about
the US Constitution, including what it means and the history of its creation.
That might lead you to some of Blackstone’s Commentaries on law as well
as John Locke’s theories of government. Understanding some of the tyrannies
the people of the world have endured can help you understand the concept of
a limited government. Repeat for your state’s constitution too.
