How are bills scheduled for debate in the House?
457870
For clarification...fillibusters cannot occur in the House, only in the Senate, same with placing holds. The Rules committee in the House sets the agenda and therefore decides when each bill will be debated. They also set rules for the debate, such as whether or not amendments can be added to the bill. Before the bill is even sent to the floor for a debate though, it must pass through the committee. If the committee doesn't like the bill they can pigeon-hole it, that is not report the bill out to the floor for a vote.

It's quite possible.  The same way that representatives bring up all these great plans right at the end of the term, come home for the summer while Congress is out of session, campaign and then return to "finish the job."  Then, right after the elections, a lot of the bills that the same reps were proposing and talking about die in committees, because they never really cared about them other than to talk about.

Consult "Roberts Rules of Order" the standard for running meetings and committees.  \n\nShould be available at library; some resources at link below:

Wikipedia is always a good place to start researching something.  Here's a link to debate.  There are several links off of this page to information on the different forms of debate, and parliamentary procedure.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate

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.

S.82 was not passed by the Senate. It has been referred to the Senate subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia. If that committee votes to send it to be voted on by the whole body, they will vote, and if it passes there, will be sent to the House to be voted on, and then sent to the President to be signed.\n\nPerhaps you are thinking of some other bill. You can search for bills at the site below.

It depends , it can take a few weeks , or a few months.  It depends on the amount of debate the bill generates.  A healthy amount of debate produces better bills, so Congress should never be pressured or rushed.

In United States, It is pretty easy.\n\n1. Someone writes a bill.\n2. If the party that someone belongs to has the majority, the bill goes for voting.\n3. The majority approves the bill without even giving it a glance.\n4. If the president is with the same party, he would sign it and it becomes law, if not then he probably would veto.\n\nAnother way.\n1. Someone writes a 'paper-clip' bill.\n2. The paper-clip bill is attached to the bill with the biggest possibility of passing congress.\n3. Every approves the bill without even taking a glance at it.\n4. Pres. sign it and it becomes law.

Legislation refers to the bills and acts that the US House and Senate produce that can become laws.

Cliffs Notes???  LOL!\n\nOne house proposes legislation and votes on it.  If it is passed, then it goes to the other house to be voted on.  If it passes there too, the president will sign or veto it.

The House of Representatives and the Senate have numerous committees that specialize in different areas of law.  These committees are essentially the gates through which proposed legislation must pass before it can be voted on by the full House or Senate. Examples: Armed Services, Appropriations, Judiciary, Indian Affairs, etc.\n\nThus, it is often said that pending legislation was killed in committee, meaning the committee didn't introduce it for a full vote.\n\nThe newest Congress won't be sworn in until January, so I don't know who the new chairpersons of the various committees will be.  But the source reference link below will take you to Source Watch Organization projections of the incoming chairpersons.\n\nGood luck.
