Explore: Observe the Legislative Process ⌨️

Visiting the US Congress and observing how legislators work will be curious. As a constituent, you can write to your legislator and ask for a tour if you are ever in Washington, DC. However informative such a visit may be, you will probably not get a full grasp of the legislative process or how you can influence it.

Today's lesson should give you a peek into the everyday work of Congress, and how you as a constituent can get involved in the legislative process. Some situations of such involvement include proposing a bill, emailing your legislator, and asking them to support the bill - and other ways of lobbying for it, giving testimony for a committee, or just tracking a bill to see how it will impact your family or business.
