Twenty-four of the 50 titles were revised and translated into positive law, and one title was eliminated by consolidation with another title. Titles that have been revised and translated into positive law are legal proof of the law and can be updated by direct modification. Finally, all titles will be revised and translated into positive law. On the Wednesday of each week, the standing committees shall be convened in alphabetical order, except by unanimity or by affirmation of two-thirds of the voting members. A committee, if appointed, may request consideration of any bill that it has reported and that is awaiting the schedule of the House of Representatives or the Union. The report on the bill must be available for three days and must not be privileged under the Standing Orders of the House. The general debate is limited to two hours and must be limited to the subject of the measure, the time being divided equally between supporters and opponents. For the adoption of the measure, a simple yes from the current members is sufficient. The purpose of this rarely used procedure is to provide an alternative method of review when the Rules Committee has not reported a rule for a particular bill.
The recorded invoice is printed on parchment paper and certified by the Clerk of the House, who indicates that the bill comes from the House of Representatives. A bill that emanates from the Senate is considered and certified by the Secretary of the Senate. A bill of the House of Representatives is then checked by the clerk for accuracy. When satisfied that the bill is accurate, the clerk attaches a piece of paper indicating that the bill is actually being recorded and sends it to the Speaker of the House for signature. Traditionally, all bills, regardless of the body in which they were created, are signed first by the President, then by the Vice President of the United States, who is President of the Senate under the Constitution, or by the President-elect pro tempore of the Senate. The Speaker of the House of Representatives can sign registered bills, whether or not the House of Representatives is in session. The Speaker of the Senate can only sign bills while the Senate is actually in session, but usually prior approval is given to sign during a break or after adjournment. If the President or Speaker of the Senate is unable to sign the bill, it may be signed by an authorized member of the relevant chamber. Once the two signatures are affixed, a bill of the House of Representatives is referred to the Clerk for submission to the President for application under the Constitution. A senate bill is submitted to the President by the Secretary of the Senate.
In the United States, all bills that come from the House of Representatives start with «H.R.» and all bills that come from the Senate start with an «S.» Every two years, in the early odd years, the U.S. Congress starts again with the numbering of 1, although the House of Representatives has an order for bills that reserves the first 20 issues of bills, and the Senate has similar measures for the first 10 bills. Joint resolutions also have the same effect as bills and are called «H.J. Res.» or «S.J. Res.», depending on whether they come from the House of Representatives or .dem Senate. This means that two different invoices can have the same number. Each two-year period is called a Congress, which follows the terms of representatives elected to the House of Representatives in national biennial elections, and each Congress is divided into one-year periods called sessions.

The Rules of the Senate state that after the end of the morning business for each «legislative day», the Senate reviews the schedule. In the Senate, the term «day of Parliament» refers to the period from the adjournment of the Senate to the next adjournment of the Senate. Since the Senate «often takes breaks» rather than «adjournments» at the end of a daily session, the legislative day generally does not correspond to the 24-hour period that includes a calendar day. Therefore, a legislative day can cover a long period of time – from a few days to several weeks or months. For this reason, and the modern practice of unanimously refraining from convening the calendar at the beginning of a new legislative day, it is rare to have a calendar call. When the schedule is called, invoices that are not objected to are recorded in their order, and each senator has the right to speak once and for only five minutes on each question. Opposition may be filed at any stage of the proceedings, but upon request, the Senate may continue the examination after the calendar has been convened, and the restrictions on debate will not apply. I worked with Senator George V. Voinovich, a Republican from Ohio, to find a solution to the pollution of diesel trucks and other large vehicles. After weeks of cooperation, we introduced the Diesel Emission Reduction Act, 2005 (DERA).
This bill authorized the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a program to promote diesel clean-up efforts. This is achieved by providing funds in the form of grants and small loans to agencies and states to improve and clean up the technology and equipment associated with diesel vehicles. Because it was a reasonable bill, 22 of our Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle signed as co-sponsors. In the meantime, the House of Representatives is responsible for presenting and voting on its own accompanying bill. As in the Senate, when a bill is introduced in the House, the House of Representatives is responsible for assigning the bill to one or more special committees of the House of Representatives for further deliberation. Sometimes the authors of the House of Representatives give the bill a different title, and sometimes the legislature of the House of Representatives gives the legislature a different law number than their companion in the Senate. Ultimately, a bill can only pass if the Senate and House of Representatives introduce, debate, and vote on similar bills. If the motion to refer a standing committee of the House to a public bill or public resolution pending before the committee prevails, a Member who signed the motion may request the House to proceed with the immediate consideration of the bill or resolution. If the motion is approved, the bill or resolution is immediately considered in accordance with the general rules of the House.
If the House of Representatives votes against the request for immediate consideration, the bill or resolution will be returned to its appropriate schedule with the same status as if it had been reported by a standing committee. While a measure is under consideration, it is subject to change, and any changes, including those proposed by the committee that reported on the bill, will be considered separately. In general, it is not necessary for the proposed amendments to be consistent with the purpose of the bill, except in the case of the general laws on the allocation of funds or where the «Closure» has been invoked. According to the regulation, an «amendment», an amendment proposing substantive legislation on a licensing law, is prohibited. However, the prohibition may be suspended by a two-thirds majority upon application for written authorization to review such an amendment with one day`s notice. The debate must take place within the first three hours of the establishment of the transactions, unless otherwise unanimously stated or upon request without debate. The sources of legislative ideas are limitless and bills come from many different fields. First of all, there is the idea and design conceived by a member. This may result from the election campaign in which, if elected, the MEP promised to introduce legislation on a particular issue. Even after taking office, the Member may have become aware of the need to amend or repeal an existing law or to pass a law in a completely new area. A member may submit to the secretary a written request for discharge from a committee based on the consideration of a bill or a public interest resolution submitted to the secretary 30 legislative days earlier.
A Member may also table a motion to discharge the Rules Committee after further consideration of a resolution that contains a special arrangement for the consideration of a public bill or public resolution reported by a standing committee, or a special rule for the consideration of a bill or public interest resolution that has been referred to a standing committee for 30 legislative days. This request for discharge to the Committee on the Rules of Procedure can only be made if the resolution has been referred back to that committee at least seven legislative days before the request for discharge is submitted. The motion may not allow non-German amendments to be taken into account. The motion is referred to the Clerk of the Journal, where members can sign it in the gallery of the House when the House meets. The names of members who have signed a waiver request are available electronically and published weekly in the Congressional Record.
