Congressional legislation

Congressional legislation refers to the process by which the United States Congress creates, debates, and passes laws. It involves two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. A proposed law, called a bill, is introduced, reviewed by committees, and may be amended. If both chambers approve the bill, it is sent to the President, who can sign it into law or veto it. This process allows for discussion and consideration of various viewpoints, ultimately aiming to address issues and govern the nation effectively.
