Explanation:

This outlines the standard legislative process for passing a law in a bicameral (two-chamber) system like the US:

1. Laws start as proposed bills.
2. Bills are introduced to a congressional committee first for initial review.
3. One chamber of the legislature (e.g., House of Representatives) reviews and votes on the bill.
4. The other chamber (e.g., Senate) then conducts its own review and vote.
5. The executive branch head (e.g., President) signs the bill into law or vetoes it.

Answer:

First, someone comes up with the idea for a bill.
Then, it goes to committee.
Next, the House of Representatives reviews and votes on the bill.
Afterwards, the Senate will do the same thing.
Finally, the President will either sign it into law or veto it.

(Note: For step 3 and 4, the order of House of Representatives and Senate can be reversed, as bills can start in either chamber.)
