Question

Which pair of numbered sentences best completes the diagram showing part of the legislative process in the House of Representatives?

Answer 1

senators debate a proposed bill

1) senators vote to pass the bill

A conference committee resolves differences between versions of the bill

2) The bill is sent to the president to sign

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. (1) The bill is reviewed by a committee. (2) representatives vote on the bill.

A bill cannot be debated unless it is examined by a committee and it certainly cannot be voted unless it is debated. The legislative process is very thorough.

Of course, if the president disagrees with the bill he can veto it after it is sent to his office to be signed but that is a different subject.
