How does a bill go through congress?
A bill is introduced by a member from the senate, then it is passed on to its proper committee by the house speaker, then the committee considers the bill and the subcommittee investigates the bill. Next, the committee reports the bill to members of the senate, it is read through a first time, amended then read through a second time. Next, it is read a third time, the members debate it then vote on it. If passed, the bill moves to the house of representatives where this whole process of going through committee, reading it, and voting on it is repeated. If it is passed it is sent to the president where he can either veto it or pass it and make it a law. If he chooses to veto it, congress may choose to override the veto and the bill becomes a law. See below link: -This is close but not quite right and there isn't a link. The bill can be introduced by a Senator or a Member of the House of Representatives. However, Members of the House can only introduce bills in the House and Senators only in the Senate. The Speaker of the House directs House bills, but the Senate Majority Leader directs Senate bills. And bills don't always go through Committees - there are exceptions to this, but it is rare. And you are right that once it's voted on in one body, it is then sent to the other, but it doesn't matter who votes first. Except any spending bill or formal impeachements. Those bills can only originate in the House. But, the Senate must agree to the spending bill and the Senate is in charge of conducting impeachment hearings.
