Since we get a lot of questions, here are some resources on the legislative process:
From the House Parliamentarian: “ How Our Laws Are Made ” – A n excellent resource and refresher for anyone seeking to understand the process from start to finish. (Am just sorry that I cannot find the person to credit with re-posting this link on Twitter a few days ago. If you are the one, let me know so I can add a h/t!
Schoolhouse Rock – How a Bill Becomes a Law , (Because it’s just a classic.) Great chart illustrating the lawmaking process by Mike Wirth and Dr. Suzanne Cooper Guasco (winner of Sunlight Labs’ 2010 “Design for America” contest.)
“ Who Writes Our Law s” (CTO Josh Tauberer and I address a reader’s question over at GovTrackInsider.)
And I thought this was a really good post on the same topic over at PoliticsUnder30.org: http://www.politicsunder30.org/2009/featured/who-writes-these-thousand-page-bills
Have other suggested resources? Please share in comments.
