Introducing Bills, Spending Debates: Here's How Congress Really Works

Take the introduction of bills in Congress as an example, says Brown, vice president of government relations at The Heritage Foundation.

"Members of Congress introduce thousands of bills every year," Brown says, but many of them "Are laying a marker for what they believe."

Brown joins this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" for the second in a three-part series explaining how Congress really works.

So you have to understand what's going on there and who works there in order to interact well with Congress.

Members of Congress introduce thousands of bills every year and some of these bills they intend to pass.

How you pass a bill in Congress is supposed to be that everybody has an opportunity to amend, have their input on legislation.
