The legislative process is the way laws are created and passed in a government. It usually starts when a member of the legislature proposes a new law, called a bill. This bill is then discussed, debated, and modified by other members before it can be voted on. If the majority agrees, the bill moves forward in the process. Once a bill is approved by the legislature, it is sent to the executive branch, often the president or governor, for approval. If the executive signs the bill, it becomes law. If not, they can veto it, but the legislature may override the veto with enough votes.
