If the bill is approved by members of just one house of congress what happens to it?
A bill has to pass through both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then be signed off by the President, before it is law. If the President disagrees then a two/thirds majority in each of the two Houses can override the President's veto. Therefore if it just passes through one House it has failed.
That bill gets sent to the other house to be considered and voted on by its members. This second house can do one of three things. It can vote to pass the bill, in which case the bill gets sent to the President for his signature or veto. It can vote to deny the bill entirely, in which case it becomes a dead bill. Or it can make modifications to it in any way it chooses, then send it back to the first chamber for its consideration and vote of the modified bill. If the first chamber votes for passage of the modified bill, the modified bill gets sent to the President.
it is passed on to the other house. If that house likes it then it is passed to the president for him/her to sign in or he can let others vote it.

There are five possibilities:
The President signs it and it becomes law.
The President vetoes it and it does not become law.
The President vetoes it but Congress may make it law by overruling the veto by a 2/3 vote by each House of Congress.
The President takes no action and at the end of ten days, the bill becomes law without his signature.
The President takes no action and if Congress adjourns before ten days, the bill does not become law.
When it passes both houses and congress it is taken to the President and it can either be vetoed or made into a law.
