== Overview ==
A '''Bill''' is a proposed piece of legislation within the [[Oath of Office]] game. It represents a potential change or addition to existing laws and policies. Bills are created by lawmakers, such as Governors or Congresspersons, to be debated and voted on by their peers in their respective legislative chambers (e.g., Senate or House of Representatives).

Bills function similarly to [[Issues]], shaping the political landscape by introducing new laws, regulations, or reforms that can impact public opinion, state relations, or national policy.

=== Key Elements of a Bill ===
* '''Title''': A brief description that summarizes the bill's purpose or focus.
* '''Text''': The full details of the bill, outlining the specific changes or additions being proposed.
* '''Chamber Vote''': Bills must be voted on by members of the respective chamber (e.g., Senate or House of Representatives). If approved, it moves to the other chamber (if applicable) for further debate and vote.

=== Process of Passing a Bill ===
# '''Introduction''': A bill is introduced in the legislative chamber, with a description of its objectives.
# '''Debate''': Members of the chamber discuss the merits and potential consequences of the bill.
# '''Voting''': A vote is held, with members casting their support or opposition.
# '''Enactment''': If the bill passes through the necessary votes, it becomes law and is enforced within the game’s systems, influencing the game’s world.
