Has to pass both chambers.
Special interests say if you don't succeed the first time, have another go at it.
^ That you don't even understand even the basic rudiments of how your own government works is really sad.
well I dont think so but I do stay on top of things....i dont think this is basic...we are talking about 700 billions dollars...whats basic about that?
in the sense that any law has to pass both chambers of Congress before it reaches the president's desk.
well thank you for being the bearer of educationing me on this...
i'm sorry for being harsh (really).
I am in a bad mood. As much as I blame the politicians for their corruption and overall ignorance, I blame the voters even more for sanctioning this corruption by not holding these people accountable.
Here's some more of civics 101:
President can veto the bill, but if each chamber supports the bill by a two-thirds majority, they can override a presidential veto.
Amendments to the Constitution are really hard to implement. It requires a three-fourths approval in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the fifty states.
why are you in a bad mood?
Because our country is going into the toilet. Because our "leaders" are selling this country out.
that's why we're moving, wheels and me.
"that's why we're moving, wheels and me."
I don't blame you one damn bit.
I understand...the whole thing is frustrating and just completely out of control
so scorp with that being said..do you think the bill will pass?
The special interests are pretty powerful; it could pass.
This I know for certain: Election 2008 will be like a nuclear bomb on Washington. A lot of people of both parties are gonna get thrown out of office. And they should.
i totally agree

Will the Senate vote rule over the house vote for the Bailout? Or does it mean the House will have to vote again?
