Both the House and the Senate must resolve their procedural differences before a bill is sent to the president for signature.

In the House of Representatives, debate on bills is largely unrestricted, mirroring the Senate’s approach to lengthy debates.

The Senate allows for extended debate, including the use of filibusters, which can only be overcome by a 60-vote cloture.

The House Rules Committee establishes limits on debate time and the ability to amend bills on the floor.
