Civics_Ch4_bill-compromise

=**Yes! Both Chambers (House and Senate) have to pass the same version.**= There is a special type of committee called a Conference Committee that is made of members of the House of Representatives and members of the Senate. They work out differences within the bill to get the wording the same. Once this is done, BOTH the House and the Senate have to pass the compromise version of the bill. So, __the House and Senate have to pass a compromise version of the bill__.

It's possible, although unlikely, that the bill will die by this point. It's obvious that the House and Senate like the bill because they both passed it, however if both chambers of Congress can't agree on a compromise version of the bill, it's done.

However, you must be one dynamite of a lobbyist, because the House and Senate agreed to a compromise version of the bill. What next?
 * It's a law since it passed the House and Senate
 * It goes to the President
