In my opinion, the biggest obstacle for a bill to become a
law is the fact that so many different people have to agree on the bill. This makes it
pretty tough for any bill to make it into law.
In the
process of a bill becoming a law, the members of various committees in both houses have
to agree. Then the whole membership of each house has to agree (this is especially
difficult in the Senate were on 40% of Senators can stop a bill). If the bills passed
by the two houses are different, the conference committee has to agree. Finally, the
President has to agree.
At each step of the way, various
interest groups will be giving their opinions and they can prevent agreement as
well.
So the whole process is a huge obstacle and I will
say that the need for so many people to agree is the major reason why passage is
difficult.
