US legislation

U.S. legislation refers to the laws and rules created by Congress, which is the legislative branch of the government. This process starts with a proposal called a bill, which can be introduced by any member of Congress. The bill goes through various stages, including debates, revisions, and votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If approved by both, it is sent to the President, who can sign it into law or veto it. Legislation shapes policies on issues like healthcare, education, and the economy, affecting daily life and governance in the United States.
