In the House of Representatives what is the next step in the legislative process immediately after the floor debate takes place?
Now, here comes the answer of the question, after the bill is presented and sponsored, it is referred to the appropriate committee action in order for them to debate on it and marks up the proposed bill.
Who is responsible for scheduling a bill for floor debate in the House of Representatives?
Rules Committee
Who in the House can limit the amount of time to debate a bill.?
No one in the White House can limit the amount of time to debate a bill. The rules governing it are specific to the House and Senate, which are not part of the Executive Branch like the President (who lives in the White House).
What is the function of the House Committee on Rules?
When a bill is reported out of one of the other committees, it does not go straight to the House floor, because the House, unlike the United States Senate, does not have unlimited debate and discussion on a bill.
What procedes the voting in a bill?
Bills are first sent to a committee for study. Many die there. The next step is to go to the floor for debate. Some never go any further but are tabled or withdrawn. Finally, a vote is taken and the bill is sent to the other House where it goes through the same process again.
