Well, which do you think and why?
idk but i think it's A. well because the first step in making a law is to introduce a bill, or a proposal for a law. A bill can be introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate.
am i correct?
It's for any law
If you look at a list of bills, you will see they come from both houses: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/all
how come it;s D @iambatman
It's a legislative bill, that's introduced in the legislature or house of representatives, where they discuss it and it involves vetoing and all etc, etc, etc, then it's finally passed as a law.
As you said, akk, "...first step in making a law is to introduce a bill, or a proposal for a law. A bill can be introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate." There are a few key points there. 1) Introduced: not passed, but just starting. 2) It is a proposal, so it does not really need to reach anything at the start. 3) It can happen in either part of the congress.
