    A bill must pass through committees before being debated and voted on in the entire House or Senate. It then must pass both the House and Senate in the same form to become law. A conference committee is needed when the House and Senate pass different versions to merge the bills. Members of Congress may introduce bills based on presidential ideas to gain the president's support on other issues or because they agree with the president.
