While the person above is correct in saying that the Speaker has a large influence in saying what bills reach the floor of the House, its the Rules Committee that makes the decision.  This is why the Speaker usually keeps the Rules Committee under pretty tight control (it's nickname is commonly the Speaker's Committee).  The Rules committee can decide how long debate is open on the bill, as well as whether or not amendments will be accepted.

The new terms will begin in January.\n\nIt depends on what you mean by "operational."  When will Congress as a whole start business again?  January.  When will your new Senator or Representative actually have any influence?  That will take years.  Influence is determined by what committees they belong to.  They apply for these committees.  The positions are filled by seniority within both political parties.  If you just elected a new senator or representative, it will be a while before your district starts getting the pork again.

The bill has not left the committe, and at this point it most likely won't. It's not possible to know why it hasn't left the committe or what different members of the committee think of the bill, since their meetings are generally not public.

Until the early years of the 20th century, the House of Lords had the power to prevent legislation, as bills had to be passed by both Houses of Parliament.\n\nDavid Lloyd-George's so-called 'people's budget' of 1909 brought this arrangement under strain, when the House of Lords originally refused to pass it. Eventually, the budget was passed after a general election in 1910; a second election was then fought on the issue of reform of the House of Lords. The result was the Parliament Act of 1911, which removed from the House of Lords the power to veto a bill, except one to prolong the lifetime of a parliament. Instead, the Lords could delay a bill by up to two years. The Act also reduced the maximum lifespan of a Parliament from seven years to its present five years.

1) A bill is proposed in one house of Congress - either the House of Representatives, or the Senate.\n\n2) It is voted on in "committee", a small group of the chamber that proposed it votes on it - either up or down.  If it gets voted down, it stops here.\n\n3) If it passed step 2, is voted on by the full chamber where it was first proposed.\n\n4) A "conference committee" made up of members of both chambers of Congress writes a final bill to be sent to both houses.\n\n5) Both houses vote on the bill - up or down.  It stops here if it is voted down at this point.\n\n6) It is sent to the President - he has 10 days to sign it.  If he signs it, or if he does nothing (ignores it) it becomes law.  If he vetoes it, it does not become law (yet - there is another way - get to that in a sec).  To veto a bill is to send it back to congress with objections.\n\n7) If the bill is vetoed, Congress can vote on it again.  If the bill receives 2/3 majority vote from both chambers, it can become law over the President's objections.
