Elected to a two-year term, each representative serves the people of a specific congressional district by introducing bills and serving on committees, among other duties.

North Carolina

Due to the high volume and complexity of its work, the Senate divides its tasks among 20 committees, 68 subcommittees, and 4 joint committees.  

Although the Senate committee system is similar to that of the House of Representatives, it has its own guidelines, within which each committee adopts its own rules.  This creates considerable variation among the panels.

If a bill has passed in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and has been approved by the President, or if a presidential veto has been overridden, the bill becomes a law and is enforced by the government.

Your job is to create a new law for Pitt County Schools.

Create a flow chart of how the bill would be passed through the school system.
