DEFINITIONS
Intro – In the House, bills are officially introduced by placing them in a special box known as the hopper, which is located at the rostrum, or Speaker’s platform. In the Senate, a billis introduced by placing it on the presiding officer’s desk or by formally introducing it on the Senate Floor
Engross – A legislative proposal that has been prepared in a final form for its submission to a vote of the lawmaking body after it has undergone discussion and been approved by the appropriate committees.
Enrolled – The final copy of a bill or joint resolution which has passed both chambers in identical form. It is printed on parchment paper, signed by appropriate House and Senate officials, and submitted to the president for signature.
Passed – A bill does not become law until it is passed by the legislature and, in most cases, approved by the executive. Once a bill has been enacted into law, it is called an act of the legislature, or a statute
Veto – The procedure established under the Constitution by which the president refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the president returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The president usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. The veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House
Scheduled – Senate practice today generally concedes to the majority leader the prerogative of arranging the floor schedule of the Senate and making unanimous consent requests and motions to proceed to consider bills and other items of business. The majority leader is also chiefly responsible for negotiating unanimous consent agreements governing the consideration of items of business.
