Lawmaking Process

The lawmaking process involves several steps: first, a proposed law called a bill is created and introduced in a legislative body. It is then debated and possibly amended by lawmakers. If approved, it moves to the other legislative chamber for a similar review. Once both chambers agree, the bill is sent to the executive (president or governor) for approval or veto. If approved, it becomes law. If vetoed, the legislative body may override the veto with enough votes. This process ensures that proposed laws are carefully considered and have broad support before becoming official.
