How does a bill move through the house of representatives?

The bill is introduced into the House of Representatives when it is placed in a special box called a hopper, on the side of the clerk's desk. A bill clerk will then assign the bill with a number and then a reading clerk will read the bill to the Representatives. The Speaker of the House will then send the bill to one of the House standing committees. When the bill has been approved by the committee, it is sent back to the House of Representatives for debate and then voted on. When the bill get sent to the President and is vetoed, it will then be sent back to the House of Representatives and the bill may be voted into a law.
