Many Web sites explain the process by which a bill becomes a law. Three of the better sites to explore:
Library of Congress/THOMAS : From a Bill to a Law
Project Vote Smart : Government 101: How a Bill becomes Law
About.com: The Legislative Process: How Bills become Laws or Not
In a more light-hearted vein, 2 websites geared toward children also provide an excellent explanation of this process:
Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids: How Laws are Made
Kids in the House from the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives: How Laws are Made
