Legislative: Bill Hearing

Article I Section 7, "Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate."


This is saying how in order for a bill to become a law both the House of Representatives and the Senate must pass it. In order for that bill to become a law they must present it in court where the senate and the house would be able to heard the proposition of the senator or representative proposing the bill.

This video is from a congress meeting where Representative Barbara Lee is trying to pass a bill for Minority Owned business to be better represented and actually be taken more into consideration. In addition, it protects the right of the worker and gives them better conditions. This video shows how it has to get through congress in order to become a law.

If we didn’t have this I believe, it would be horrible. I say this because people would be making useless laws. There would be laws contradicting each other because nobody would be checking them, they would just be approved. This wouldn’t be a good government. It would be a very unorganized congress.
