Answer 1

It’s goes to the presidents desk for a signature

Answer 2

Answer: It goes to the house for review

Step-by-step explanation:

The life of a bill is as follows,

1. Writen (The first draft of the bill is made)

2. Introduction (the bill is introduced to one of the houses)

3. Committee (The bill is set to a committee or sub-committee to be changed/edited)

4. the bill makes its way to the House floor to be voted on

5. if the bill passes then steps 2-4 are repeated in the second house. If the bill fails then it is sent back to the committee to be edited to try and make it likable enough to be voted on.

6. When the bill passes both houses then another committee with representatives from both houses compromises on a bill that fits both versions (senate and Representative)

7. the bill then goes to the president for signing.
