What are some of the main hurdles that a bill must overcome in order to become law? Does this
make sense, or should lawmaking be easier?

A bill becomes law through blah blah blah process of how a bill a becomes law
Ways a bill can be deadlocked or postponed
o Filibuster: A filibuster is a parliamentary procedure used in the United States
Senate to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote. The most common
form of filibuster occurs when one or more senators attempt to delay or block a
vote on a bill by extending debate on the measure.
o Partisan Gridlock
It should not be this difficult,
It should be easier, but it can’t be easier. There is no human on earth who will put aside
their differences with others to get things done every time. Eventually people get
impatient. Members of congress come into office for a reason, and they have priorities
and goals. They want their ills to pass and some may be lenient and patient while some
are not. Because of that, lawmaking will always be difficult
The Framers did not plan to make lawmaking as difficult as it is. They had high hope and
assumed all members of congress would be wise and patient. This is not a realistic
assumption.
