Could a bill pass the Senate by a vote of 26 to 27?
No...this is too small of a majority to pass according to the constitution
What is wrong with this scenario?
A bill to raise individual taxes is introduced into senate. The bill is given a number and assigned to the senate budget committee for consideration.The bill is recommended for passage and is debated by the full senate. The senate votes unanimously to pass the bill with no amendments, and bill is sent to the house of representatives.
What must happen to have a bill sent to the president?
Most bills start in committees. A bill that passes committee is then voted on in the full house or senate. A bill must pass the house and the senate, and then it goes to the president.
Can the house ignore the senate and pass a bill on its own?
no, because the house has representatives based on population, and the senate has an equal number of representatives.
If the House of Representatives and Senate cannot agree on a bill it is sent to what type of committee?
Both the House and the Senate must pass a bill before it goes to the President. If both houses of Congress pass a similar bill yet cannot agree on the particulars the bill will go to a joint reconciliation committee for final changes which will then become law.
