How does lawmaking work in the American democracy?

In American democracy, lawmaking primarily occurs through a legislative process involving Congress, which consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. A proposed law, known as a bill, is introduced in either chamber, debated, and must be approved by both before being sent to the President for approval or veto. The President can sign the bill into law or reject it; Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds majority in both chambers. This system ensures checks and balances, allowing for both representation and accountability in the lawmaking process.
