II. THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESSWORLDYOUTH MODEL CONGRESS 2010

WYMC, at its very core, is a simulation of the United States Government. This means thatparticipants for WYMC will playas representatives or senators, and will get to experience firsthand the long legislative process of how an idea becomes abill, and how a bill becomes a lawin

the United States.

The United States is based on the concept ofseparation of powers, that no single institution orperson should hold all the power, that power should be divided among different people, so thattrue democracy can be fostered. Because of this, the legislative process can be long and complicated,involving many different institutions.

1. The IdeaAll bills start with an idea. With a problem or issue at hand,people think of solutions to solve the problem.

Problem: A factory is dumping waste into a local river.Idea: The polluting factory should pay more taxes.

2. The BillA Senator or Representative takes the idea and writes it intoa bill. He then submits it for debate in Congress.

Bill: All factories that pollutes local water sources will pay10% more taxes.

3. Committee Debate

Congress is divided into two chambers, the House ofRepresentatives and the Senate. These two chambers

contain smaller committees, all focused on a specific issue.

These committees will debate on the bill, determiningwhether to pass the bill or not.

Debate: Senate Committee on Environment and PublicWorks debates on the bill.

4. Full Session DebateIf the bill passes in a committee, Congress as a whole will get

to debate on the Committee. One chamber at a time, eachchamber will gather during a full session to debate on the

bills. If the bill passes in one chamber, it goes to the otherchamber for debate.

Debate: The bill goes to Full Senate for debate, it passes,then it goes to the House of Representatives for debate.

5. White HouseAfter the bill passes in both the Senate and the House ofRepresentatives, it goes to the President for approval. The

President can sign it into law, or he canveto it. If the presidentvetoes the law, it must go back to congress and be debated

III. HOW TOWRITE ABILLWORLDYOUTH MODEL CONGRESS 2010

So we now know how a bill becomes a law, the question now is, how do we write a bill?

All bills will require to address the Five Ws and One H. In other words, your bill will need tospecifyWho, What, When, Where, Why, and How.

1. Who?Who submitted the bill? Who will the bill effect? Who will implement and enforce the measuresoutlined in the bill? Who will pay for the costs?

2. What?What will the bill do? What changes will the bill bring? What will the government have to do? Whatwill citizens have to do? What penalties will there be?

3. When?

When will the bill take effect? When will citizens have to comply with the bill?

4. Where?Where will the bill have jurisdiction? Where will the bill be enforced?

5. Why?Why is the bill needed? Why are the changes needed? Why should the government use tax moneyfor this bill?

6. How?How is the bill going to be implemented and enforced? How will the bill be monitored? How muchwill the changes cost? How will it be funded?

Your bill should be divided into three sections. The basic information, the preamble, and theclauses.

Basic Information:Your committee, the name, delegation and party of the main author, list ofco-submitting authors and their delegations and parties, and the title

Preamble: Provides the reasons and justifications for the bills passage. Should cover theWhysection outlined above. Always begin with the word Whereas...

Clauses: Should be separated into sections and sub-sections. This outlines what the bill will do,who will do it, and where and when itll happen. Each proposed idea should be a section, whilemore specific numbers should be in sub-sections.
