Unit 12
1. Both the House and Senate must pass legislation that is identical in every way before it is sent to the president for approval. After each chamber has passed its version, the legislation is sent to a conference committee made up of leaders of the originating committees to work out the differences. At times, each chamber instructs its members as to what to accept or reject.
2. The conference committee meets and attempts to craft a compromise acceptable to each chamber.
3. The report of the conference committee is brought back to each chamber for approval without amendment.
