David Perdue: A Case Study

Senator Jeffrey’s bill was to organize a camp for kids that need help. First Senator Jefferson has to propose the bill in front of Senate after he is done writing it, and after that it is sent into a committee to deem the importance of the bill. After that it is sent back and forth from the House and the Senate and is amended and voted yes or no on. If both the

After introduction of the bill, the referral or assignment to house or senate then takes place. In other words, the bill is assigned to standing committee. The Speaker and Lieutenant Governor appoint committee members and chairs. This gives the presiding officers great power and these vital decisions can

Depending on where the bill is introduced, the outcome (whether or not it passes) can change. For example, if the bill were to originate in the House of Representatives, then it would be critical that the bill catered to the needs of the committee it came in front of, while remaining as close to the middle as it could. This is because, in a closed-rule committee, the bill must first be approved by the committee before it can be passed. As such, the committee are the key players in the House. Because of this, the bill must in some way work for an agenda that the committee has or it will never get passed and attempting to pass something that goes against the committee’s preferences would be foolish.

Trump and Perdue regularly tout their experience as experienced and good businessmen. As good business people, I am skeptical

Congress must always sponsor this bill before it is introduced to the House or Senate. Several drafts may even be composed by Congress, citizens of society, lobbyists, and coalitions. Primarily though, the President is the main source when it comes down to proposing one. The four forms of congressional action process as bills, joint resolutions, concurrent resolutions and simple resolutions. The introduction of a bill is the first step in the federal process is the referral to a standing committee where they have the power to delay, block or expedite

All things first start with an idea. This idea, then becomes an action and this action in turn has a result. This same concept can be applied to the legislative process. The first step begins with an idea, this idea is shared and if it gains the support of the masses this idea will then become sponsored by a representative. Once this idea has sponsorship it then proceeds to the congressional level where this idea gets the new title of a bill. Upon the name change from idea to bill also comes the benefit of becoming a proposed piece of legislation. For a bill this means that it will be sent to both the House of Representatives and Senate awaiting it’s future through debate. If the debate proves favorable for the bill, that is both the House of Representatives and the Senate approve then this bill is sent off to the desk of the president. From the moment the bill arrives at the desk of the president a countdown of ten days begins, this is

The majority of the senate's legislative review is done within it's committee system, as committee’s have always been part of the senate(Ray, 2013). “What the author fails to mention is that the senate standing

The bill will be sent to a committee and the committee will typically hold a hearing on the bill (Krutz and Waskiewicz). The bill will then enter the markup stage for amending and approving. Following, the bill will go through the House Committee on Rules to establish rules of the debate and move to the floor for amendments and debates. The House will hold a vote and if passed, will move to the Senate. After reaching the Senate, the bill is placed on a calendar for debate and voted on. If the bill from the House and Senate appear different then the first chamber could accept the second chambers bill or further amend the second chambers bill. If neither of those options work it will be sent to the conference committee for negotiations. Once complete, the bill will arrive at the president for signature or

There are committees for different topics of what a bill could be. The bills are sent to the committees by a speaker of the house. Once the bill reaches the Committee, the members decide what to do with it. Now days most bill dies at this stage, meaning that the bill does not pass and becomes a law. Although when it does passed, the committee makes a vote, and it is sent to the next part of the law-making process which is the Rules Committee, who also decide on it through debate, deciding what will good about making the laws, or what could be the negative outcome to it, in this stage the bill could die to. This committee not only can reject or pass the bills, but add amendments, then after their changes are done; they pass the bill to the Senate.

Before these groups make a law, they must be sure they help as many people as possible/ not harm or majorly affect citizens in a negative way. Make sure the law does not undo another law unless the rest of Congress is okay with that. Once a law is suggested, the executive group/person must approve it and the citizens will vote on it.

Now that the bill has been passed through the House, it is ready to go through the proceedings of the Senate. First, the bill is again introduced but now by a senator who must be recognized by the presiding officer and announce the introduction of the bill. A bill that has passed either house of congress is sometimes called an act, but the term usually means legislation that has passed both houses and become a law. Secondly, the Vice President of the US, who is the presiding officer of the Senate, assigns the proposed law to a committee for further study ( the Senate has about 15 standing committees). The committees or one of its subcommittees studies the bill and may hold hearings. The committee may approve the bill as is, revise the bill, or table the bill. Now the bill goes to the Senate to await its turn on the Senate floor. Normally the bill is considered as introduced unless the bill is urgent in which case the leaders of the majority party might push it ahead. At this time the Senate considers the bill. Here senators can debate a bill indefinitely, unless voted otherwise. When there is no further discussion, the Senate votes. Most bills must have simple majority to pass. At this point of development, the process is especially exemplary because the bill in the Senate is now considered by debate to better illustrate its strengths and/or weaknesses. To summarize, the bill has now been passed by both houses of congress.

In the Senate, member can speak as long as they want. Once the debate is over the Senate will then vote on the bill. If fifty-one members vote in favor of the bill then it will be passed. The bill will then move on to a conference committee, which is made up of member from each House. The committee works out any differences between the House and Senates versions of the bill. The revised bill will then be sent back to both Houses for their final approval. Once approved, the bill is printed by the Government Printing Office in a process called enrolling. The clerk from the introducing house will certify the final version.

Most individuals with a general background knowledge of the United States Federal Government system are aware that in order for a bill to become a law, it must first pass a majority vote in Congress. There is, however, a very important step in the legislative process that sometimes goes unnoticed. The committee system of the legislation process ensures that the appropriate attention is given to each bill introduced to Congress. Each member of both chambers are assigned to committees and subcommittees, and are expected to become subject matter experts in their respective roles as committee members.

Total egg exports are down 9 percent from the same period a year earlier; 145.13 million dozen eggs, which includes both table eggs and egg products, were exported from this year’s period in comparison to the 164 million exported a year earlier. “The impact of lost exports alone reached nearly 390 million during the first half of 2015,” reports the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council; in what the article describes as “precise terms”, the combined value of US poultry and egg exports for the first half fell by an astonishing 14 percent, with egg exports accounting for 9 percent of the total loss of revenue. The sharp drop in export value is described as being a “graphic example of the economic effect this year’s multi-state outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza has had on the industry.” Countries are beginning to lift restrictions, while some US trading partners are slowly moving to follow their example, such as Mexico. The industry is set to stockpile enormous amounts of vaccinations to prepare for the possible return of the flu during the autumn months, as opposed to the hotter months in which the virus goes “dormant” and disappears off the radar. This gives the industry a chance to both prepare and bounce back from the loss from previous months, or the first half of 2015.

Poultry in much of the developed world is now infected with salmonella. In Europe, 75% of chicken sold is infected and in the US 60%. It is estimated that the US has some 2,000,000 cases of food poisoning as the result of consuming salmonella costing $2,540 million annually. Even in relatively advanced countries like the United Kingdom the authorities admit that the food contamination problem is out of control stating: the multiplicity of potential routes of contamination makes the elimination of microbiological contamination from poultry being presented for slaughter a virtual impossibility. This need not be the case as has been demonstrated in Sweden. There it has taken 20 years of ruthless killing of any flock with a salmonella infection to achieve 99% of flocks free of salmonella. Poultry costs more as a result but the Swedish authorities and consumers clearly believe this is worth paying.
