It's called "do Your own homework." But you probably cut and pasted the first answer already, printed it out and in the process, learned nothing.

The last link links directly the Senate pending bills where I obtained the above bills.

Parliament proposes the bill.\nThe elected representatives vote on it.\nEl Presidente decides if it should become law or not.

Are you referring to the Federal Budget? A combination of all 50 states budgets? City Budgets? Household budgets?\n\nIf you are referring to the American Federal budget, President Bush submitted a 2.7 trillion (US dollar) proposal. I don't think Congress has acted on it at this time.

The President proposes, the Congress imposes.  Simple as that.  Hasn't changed in over 200 years.\n\nAnd "ditto" the homework remark of the first answer.

In order for any of the branches to complete a goal, they have to check and see is the other two like it. if the legislative branch has an idea they would like to pass as a law or bill they must follow this order:\n   senate or house of rep presents it.\n   all of that branch votes to see if they want to send it to the next step\n   if they vote to not have it then it stops and goes now farther.\n   if they vote to have it then it continues on to the next branch.\n   now it's in the president's hands, if he passes it it is sent to the supreme court\n   if the president vetos it then it is sent back to the senate for review.\n   Now the bill is in the supreme courts. all judges and justices vote to see if this will be come a law.\n\n   that's how the legislative branch interacts with the other branches in America.

If you mean amendments to the constitution:\n\nThe Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

Bills regarding taxes and appropriations for the expenses of the government must emanate from the House of Congress.\nBills affecting names of streets, public schools and other public places are initiated in the Lower House. \n\nBills affecting the whole country are passed in the Senate.

The constitution specifically says, "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."\n\nThey clearly anticipated these amendments modifying the original document. In fact, many of the amendments have revised the original. Changing the election of Senators and Representatives to popular election, changing the way the number of representatives was calculated, changing the day Congress convenes, and allowing income tax are just a few of the major revisions to the original that have come about by the amendments.

During the time of the Convention a number of issues were addressed.  One of the primary concerns was how was the Congress of the United States to be structured and how would the members gain membership.  The suggested approaches were from a single house with hereditary members to a bicameral congress with all members elected directly from the people.  \n\nThe final version was a bicameral congressional structure with the upper house membership comprised of two members from each State and these elected by the legislature of the State from which they come.  The lower house was to have members in numbers defined by population and this would result in each State having unique numbers of representatives, and these representatives would represent the people of a given district and only the citizens of that district could vote for that representative.  \n\nIn this process people would be represented by a single directly elected representative.  The States each represented by two representatives.\n\nTo carry this further, the President would be elected by delegates to the Electoral College and delegates would be elected in a manner singularly directed by each State.\n\nThe members of the Supreme Court would be selected by the President with advise and consent of the Senate.\n\nThe pattern here should be obvious, that is, popular election of these offices was not desired by the Founders.  Even the members of the lower house were elected by small districts within each State.  \n\nI’m only guessing that this is what you were asking about, because there were other issues and your question wasn’t clear.

The basic method...\nWrite a bill and get some co-sponsors.\nThe bill gets directed to the appropriate Congressional committee for discussion and review.  It may be rejected for modification, rejected outright or approved.  If approved, it is then put on the calendar for approval by the entire house of Congress.\nIf the bill requires both houses to approve, the same will be done in both houses.  During the approval process, it may be modified/amended outright, sent back to committee for further review, rejected completely or approved.\nOnce approved it goes to the President.  If both houses approve the bill, however in slightly different ways, there is a joint committee that compromises the bill to something both houses agree with before sending it to the President.\nOnce the President gets it, he can either sign it or veto it.  If vetoed, it needs 2/3 of Congress to override.\n\nThe real way is a lot dirtier.  It involves trading of favors (you vote for my bill, I'll vote for yours), attempts to tack on riders and amendments (adding money for a pork project to an unrelated bill) and a lot of petty partisan politics.
