미국 의회의 입법과정에 관한 연구

Abstract

The legislative process of the United States Congress has been largely divided into four stages: first, writing and submitting bills; second, deliberating and voting by the committee; third, deliberation and voting by the plenary session; fourth, the president's signature and the procedure of fear. When a bill is submitted to the Senate or House of Representatives in Congress, it is referred to the Standing Committee for a hearing to determine whether the bill will be adopted or modified. Once adopted, the bill will be brought to the plenary session for debate and voting. Thus, the passed bill will be transferred to another circle, namely, the Senate bill will be transferred to the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives bill will be transferred to the Senate, where the same procedure will be taken. The bills can be deliberated and reviewed according to parliamentary procedures if each senator or congressman submits them to a party to which they belong. When a bill is submitted, the President of the House Speaker of the Senate and the House of Commons shall refer the bill to the respective competent committees in accordance with the rules of Congress. There are quite detailed rules and precedents concerning the jurisdiction of the Committee, so there is little room for discretion in the submission of the Bill. However, a private bill can be referred to a committee desired by the proposal. Once the bill is referred to the committee, it will be put on the committee's calendar. Each committee will have a subcommittee, which will review the submitted proposal in detail. The Committee's resolution is not just a preliminary review process and does not mean final decision-making rights, but the Committee's deliberation process can be said to be a decisive process in passing bills, since it is a general tendency to accept the Committee's decision as it is. A bill passed by a standing committee is usually deliberated in the House of Representatives before the Senate. By the time the bill is completed in the House of Representatives, the same bill will be passed by the Senate committee and the lawmakers who proposed the bill will discuss the schedule for deliberation at the plenary session with the Congressional leaders.
