The full membership of the United States Congress considers a bill after it has been examined by a member or committee of Congress. Members of Congress present bills they support to the entire Congress for discussion and approval.
The White House can only suggest that the Congress consider a bill to become a law. However, only a member of Congress is allowed to propose the bill directly to Congress.
When a bill is introduced, it is referred to a committee so it can be examined in detail and discussed. The committee can then choose to recommend passage of the bill or they can discourage members from voting for the bill.
If the president vetoes a bill, then Congress can override that vetoe, but the bill must go back to Congress to be approved with a majority vote.
