Then, the bill must be introduced into the House of Representatives. If it passes, it then goes on to a committee, then it goes to Rules Committee, where it is then where the schedule is made for the debate. Then the House of Representatives debates on the bill. If passed, it moves to the Senate, where a senator presents the bill, and, if the committee majority votes for the bill, it goes to the whole Senate. After successful debate, the bill is potentially amended (basically meaning it gets altered based on the values of the Senate.) and if changes occurred, both houses make changes until they both agree. Eventually, the President, the one and only Donald Trump gets to decide on it. His decision is what makes or breaks a bill, because if he rejects it, it goes all the way back to a committee and hardly any persevere long enough to make it back to the president.</p> +<center><img src="http://files.ctctcdn.com/c4ef8d94101/a075f21f-b619-4076-8fa5-9e03cce520c2.jpg" alt="bill" class="bill"></center> +<hr> +<center><h2>Election Basics</h2></center> +<p>For a presidential election, every state votes on two candidates and the candidate who wins in that state by a majority wins that state.

Once one candidate gets to 270(out of 538) electors they win because that is a 51% majority. However, for all Congress or state government elections are by popular vote in one state.</p> +<center><img src="https://i2.wp.com/fortmyersbeach.news/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/March-7-Election-Basics.jpg?fit=291%2C160&ssl=1" alt="vote"></center> +<hr> +</main> +</div> +</div> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/Schoolproject/JS/sidenav.js b/Schoolproject/JS/sidenav.js new file mode 100644 index 0000000..76fecd7 --- /dev/null +++ b/Schoolproject/JS/sidenav.js @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +function openNav() { + document.getElementById("mySidenav").style.width = "250px"; + document.getElementById("main").style.marginLeft = "250px"; + <!--document.body.style.backgroundColor = "rgba(0,0,0,0.4)";--> +} + +function closeNav() { + document.getElementById("mySidenav").style.width = "0"; + document.getElementById("main").style.marginLeft= "0"; + <!--document.body.style.backgroundColor = "black";--> +}
