1) After being introduced to House or Senate, bill is referred to comittee, then to subcomittee where it is read and edited. If it passes committee it goes back to the floor to be debated and voted on. If it passes that it heads to the other house of congress where the process is repeated. If the bill is the same it is then sent to the president, if not it is sent to a combined committee which repeats the committee process and sends the finished version back through both houses. then the presidents signs or vetos it

3) national convention

4) legislative: legislation, making the laws
executive: enforcing the laws
judiciary: making sure the laws are constitutional

7) appointed by president, approved by the Senate

8)

Senate: http://senate.gov/pagelayout/committees/d_three_sections_with_teasers/committees_home.htm

House: http://www.house.gov/house/CommitteeWWW.shtml

9)
Senate:
-100 members, each state has 2
-has filibusters (talking nonstop and completely halting business of Senate) - threat of filibuster will usually stop legislation from proceeding, the longest filibuster was over 20 hours long but that was in the '70's
-more freedom to express individual opinion, open debate, anyone can introduce amendments
-Leadership: officially Vice President is President of Senate, President Pro Tempore is Robert Byrd the most senior member and its an honorary position. Real power is held by Majority Leader.

House
-435 Representatives, allotted to states based on their population
-Rules Committee - each bill is given a 'rule' stating how long it can be debated on, who can speak, who can introduce amendments
-controlled by majority party, minority party has little power
-Speaker is the leader and is very powerful - she decides what the agenda (schedule of bills) of the house is. Followed by Majority leader.
-Voting on party lines is more strictly followed
-bills dealing with the budget and money start here - House holds the purse-strings
