The process for enacting a bill into law in the U.S. typically involves several steps. First, a bill is proposed in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, after which it undergoes committee review and can be amended. Following approval by a majority vote in both chambers, the bill is sent to the president for consideration. The president can sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action (leading to automatic enactment after a specified period). This process reflects the system of checks and balances inherent in U.S. governance.
