S01, E06: Not Quite Schoolhouse Rock: Getting a Bill Through Congress, Part 2 of 2

Abstract

This podcast, part 2 of 2, picks up where we left off last time – at the point where the Senate majority leader has almost the unilateral discretion to decide when a bill is going to get a vote by the Senate body as a whole. The process then moves to the floor for unlimited debate, aka the filibuster, to not take a vote or make amendments to further negotiate the bill before, if approved, it goes to the house for approval (checks and balances). Believe it or not, there are still many steps before a bill becomes a law, and they are all covered in this podcast. ; https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/civil_discourse/1005/thumbnail.jpg
