If a majority of the full committee supports the bill, it is reported to the full House or Senate. The committee usually issues a written report in which it explains the contents of the bill, justifies committee support for it, and explains the arguments of the dissenting members. At this point the House procedure differs. Bills reported out of committee in the Senate go straight to the Senate floor, where debate is scheduled by party leaders. The House, because of its larger size, has a Rules Committee.
Rules committee is powerful.
Once both chambers have passed related bills, a conference committee of members from both houses works out differences. Members of this committee come from the original committees that the bill was referred to. The compromise version is sent from conference committee to each chamber for final approval. Can also ignore it and it becomes law, or he can pocket veto it when Congress is not in session. When this happens the bill becomes law without the president s signature.
