Either the house or senate can a bill.

Either the House of Senate can introduce a bill.

Explanation:

The legislative system of the United States is bicameral, so the proposal for bills begins the same in the Senate as in the House of Representatives, depending on whether it is presented by a senator or a representative.

The representatives or senators in charge of promoting the bill meet in small groups to study, exchange opinions, make changes or rewrite the project in question.

They then vote to accept or reject the document and the changes before returning it to the House of Representatives or the Senate for general debate. If approved by the majority, it is sent to one or another chamber of Congress to go through a similar process that includes debate, possible modifications and voting.  

The president of the United States, who is in charge of signing or not signing it into law, must arrive at a final version in which both versions (of the Senate and the House of Representatives) agree.

7. Christianity and the loss of traditional values

The decline of Rome dovetailed with the spread of Christianity, and some have argued that the rise of a new faith helped contribute to the empire’s fall. The Edict of Milan legalized Christianity in 313, and it later became the state religion in 380. These decrees ended centuries of persecution, but they may have also eroded the traditional Roman values system. Christianity displaced the polytheistic Roman religion, which viewed the emperor as having a divine status, and also shifted focus away from the glory of the state and onto a sole deity. Meanwhile, popes and other church leaders took an increased role in political affairs, further complicating governance. The 18th-century historian Edward Gibbon was the most famous proponent of this theory, but his take has since been widely criticized. While the spread of Christianity may have played a small role in curbing Roman civic virtue, most scholars now argue that its influence paled in comparison to military, economic and administrative factors.

8. Weakening of the Roman legions

For most of its history, Rome’s military was the envy of the ancient world. But during the decline, the makeup of the once mighty legions began to change. Unable to recruit enough soldiers from the Roman citizenry, emperors like Diocletian and Constantine began hiring foreign mercenaries to prop up their armies. The ranks of the legions eventually swelled with Germanic Goths and other barbarians, so much so that Romans began using the Latin word “barbarus” in place of “soldier.” While these Germanic soldiers of fortune proved to be fierce warriors, they also had little or no loyalty to the empire, and their power-hungry officers often turned against their Roman employers. In fact, many of the barbarians who sacked the city of Rome and brought down the Western Empire had earned their military stripes while serving in the Roman legions.
