The bill does not make it to the next stage and therefore has no chance of being signed into law
Pigeonhole means is not letting a bill pass through a committee onto the legislative floor.
The House Rules Committee determines when bills will be heard by the floor. Accordingly, if the Committee is against a particular bill, said bill won't be put on the calendar. So, in essence, the bill stays there until it is put on the calendar- which may be never. Furthermore, the Rules Committee could also have "closed rule" on the bill, meaning it will go to the floor, but it cannot be amended. Due to varying opinions, if a bill can't be modified on the House floor, it will ultimately die there.
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.
Most bills die in the "committee" portion of the legislative process.
