Schoolhouse Rock; How A Bill Becomes A Law http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJL2Uuv-oQ
Straight From the Document:
Article One, Section Seven- "All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills. Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered."
Connection:
This fun video from Schoolhouse Rock shows the process in which the bill becomes a law. It breaks down the steps into a simple format in which anyone can understand. The process of which a law is passed is important because it tells why a law needs to be passed in the first place. This video relates to the Constitution because there are many steps shown throughout the time the bill is being considered.
