It goes back to the House, usually to a commitee, for modification. When the Senate rejects it, there are usually possible revisions attached when it is sent back. The House can either accept those revisions and send it back to the Senate or let it "die in commitee".

When your party is in the majority, you get to choose the committee chairpersons. Every committee will have one more person from your party than the other. So you control the committees. A lot of the work of the Congress is done in committee. No vote is ever held on the floor until it gets passed by the appropriate committee.\n\nIf one party holds BOTH houses, then you have a lot less friction when the House and Senate get together to work out the differences in the House and Senate versions of a bill.

But if the people don't even know about an issue, how can they have an informed opinion about the bill?  The actions of congress are online, and you can keep up with them, and email your opinion to your representative at any time of day.\n\nWho would propose laws in your scheme, without representatives?  All 298,444,215 of us?  That could lead to a lot of votes.\n\nDo I think our countries laws should be decided as snap-decisions by inattentive members of the public - like American idol? NO

They can get lost in the committee and never referred to the full Senate. The vote required to close debate (a cloture motion), which requires 2/3 can fail, which is also called a fillibuster. Or the vote itself, which requires a straight majority can fail.

Voting IN a bill means getting it to pass.\nVoting OUT a bill means it does not pass.

The bill has been brought before the parliament but they havn't decided yet.\n\nMost supporters of the vice prez oppose it but the prez supporters support it. Most of the state governors support it too.

Your aditional information is half right - Senate terms are 6 years each (staggered one third at a time,every two years), but the House of Representatives has terms of only 2 years, so that every two years the US votes for 1/3rd of the Senators, and the entire House of Representatives.\n\nAs for your question about what happens if there's a vacancy that arises, there are no by-elections in the US.  Instead, the state's Governor gets to appoint a new Senator of his choosing for the rest of the term.  That Senator can be from either party, so it's very important not to die as a Senator if the Governor of your state is from a different party than you. ;)

probably not...it looks like the "compromise" proposed in the senate is stalled and Majority Leader Bill Frist has tabled it until their Easter holiday ends two weeks from now. But frankly, the differences among the house and the senate, not to mention in-fighting among Republicans, means that any bill that is agreed on and reaches the president's desk will be watered down and probably vetoed.

In the Senate each state get's two representatives regardless of population, In the House it is decided by population with each state getting representatives according to its population, with each state receiving at least one, Large population states are underrepresented in the senate, while the house is equal according to population.

The House and the Senate introduce the legislation and refer it to a committee and sub-committe to be discussed and then voted on. If the committes approve, it must be voted on by the House and Senate members. Then, it seek the approval of the president, who can veto or sign the bill.

Your question isn't really specific enough to answer, because I don't know if you're talking about city, county, state, or US laws.  Every state, city, and county has their own system for doing things, so it would depend on where you live as to what the answer to your quesiton is.\n\nIf you're talking about US laws, the Legislative Brach (Congress and House of Representatives) introduces a law and if it passes by more than a 50% majority, it goes to the Executive Branch (president) to sign it.  If the president veteos it, the Legislative Branch can still pass it if they can get a 2/3 majority vote.  After it is passed, it is then sent to the Judicial Branch (Supreme Court) to make sure the law is Constitutional.

Congressional override means that Congress approves a bill over the objections of the President of the United States.  According to the Constitution, when a President vetoes (disapproves) a law, for whatever reason, and returns it to Congress with his objections, Congress can go and try to approve it again.  If more than 2/3 of the members of each house vote in favor of overriding the president's veto (you need a two-thirds majority in both houses), the bill becomes law without the president's signature.

All pieces of legislation (bills) must be signed by the president to be inacted as a law.  If a president vetoes a bill, the Congress can simply override the veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House (290) and Senate (67).  The Congress raises funds through taxation.

The President has a limited period of time after a bill is passed by both the House and Senate to either sign or veto it.  If that time expires after the current session of Congress ends and he does not sign it, then it cannot become law but he does not have to use his veto power.

It can only become Law in the White House when the president signs a law that was sent to him by the House and Senate. He can reject the law by Veto and then the House can override his veto by a 2 thirds majority vote. If they can't get the 2/3rds vote..the presidents rejection stands and the law is overridden. The Republicans want to help you immigrate to this country. They just want you to do it legally.
