Paul Melendez
The bill does not make it to the next stage and therefore has no chance of being signed into law
the committee can: 1) pass the bill 2) mark up a bill with charges and suggest the it be passed 3) replace the original bill with a new bill 4)ignore the bill and let it die( which is called "pigeonholing" the bill) 5)kill the bill outright by majority vote
Between each step for a bill to become a law, that bill can die. These are considered "vetoes". For example: in a committee the bill can be shot down before it makes it to the subcommittee.
Pigeonhole means is not letting a bill pass through a committee onto the legislative floor.
