yes, number 33, they type o comitee most liley to deal with a bill near the end of its legislative process is the..
conference committee
the bill that gets send to the POTUS needs to be in identical form between the h and senate
so when htere are differences, a conference committee works on it to make it identical
the committee consists of members of both chambers

so what's the difference between a joint committee and conference committee?
mlbwhitesox13 has joined this chat.
conference committee is a kind of joint committee
you mean the house and the senate righgt
right
yeah
cool
Shame about the Sox leaving so many men on base, right Brian?
7:15 PM
indeed, a two hour rain delay to start the game. it goes 11 full innings and gets suspended. Its going to be made up at a later date,
its crazy.
i ahve another question if u wanted to know what a member of congress voted on a particular bill, you would look at how he/she voted on what? #58
on the amendments of the bill
because voting against the amendments is a good way to kill a bill
oh ok!
thnks!
when you say ammendments, you mean the various parts of a bill?
7:20 PM
right
i thought an ammendment was a change to the bill
do they split up the bill while voting?
mlbwhitesox13 has left this chat.
no they vote on the entire thing

i have a question on number 53, it states, unlike the house, the scheduling off legislation in the senate is whose responsibility?
an amendment could be a part of the original bill, OR someone may "propose an amendment" which would be a change to the bill
ok
53: majority and minority leaders
Thank you.
I will be right back in a few minutes.
