2 said? Yes Pupil 1? .

Great. The reason why I showed

this video to you is that our lesson
for today is about “The Mechanics
of Law Making.

The Mechanics of law making is

the process during which an idea
or the bill showed in the video is
transformed into law.
A law starts off as a bill filed in
Congress . It then goes through a
process which culminates with its
submission to the President for
his consideration. Once signed,
the bill there after becomes a law .
How this process works?

All: Yes Ma’am.

Are you ready?

Philippines.

Thank you.

If the other House introduces

amendments and the House from
which the bill originated does not
approve of the amendments, the
differences will be settled by a
bicameral conference committee
composed of representatives from
both the House and the Senate,
whose recommendations will have
to be approved by both Houses for
ratification.Once the bill is
approved, it is transmitted to the
President.

Pupil 1: Ma’am, a bicameral conference
