I'm Just a Bill
Schoolhouse Rock

Boy: Woof! You sure got to climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?nnBill: I'm just a billnYes, I'm only a billnAnd I'm sitting here on Capitol HillnWell, it's a long, long journeynTo the capital citynIt's a long, long waitnWhile I'm sitting in committeenBut I know I'll be a law somedaynAt least I hope and pray that I willnBut today I am still just a billnnBoy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and couragennBill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, You're right, there ought to be a law. Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.nnI'm just a billnYes, I'm only a bill,nAnd I got as far as Capitol HillnWell, now I'm stuck in committeenAnd I'll sit here and waitnWhile a few key Congressmen discuss and debatenWhether they should let me be a lawnHow I hope and pray that they willnBut today I am still just a billnnBoy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?nnBill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favorably, otherwise I may die.nnBoy: Die?nnBill: Yeah, die in committee. Oh, but it looks like I'm going to live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.nnBoy: If they vote yes, what happens?nnBill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.nnBoy: Oh no!nnBill: Oh yes!nnI'm just a billnYes, I'm only a billnAnd if they vote for me on Capitol HillnWell, then I'm off to the White HousenWhere I'll wait in a linenWith a lot of other billsnFor the president to signnAnd if he signs me, then I'll be a lawnHow I hope and pray that he willnBut today I am still just a billnnBoy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?nnBill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old . . .nnBoy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?nnBill: No!nnBut how I hope and I pray that I willnBut today I am still just a billnnCongressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!nnBill: Oh yes!
