**__Artical Vl__**
There are three steps that a law has to go through. The first step is it must have been made up by the House of Representatives, the people of 205 or the President. The next step is it must be approved by 3/4 of the Senate. Then it goes on to the president and if he approves the law it will become a law in the class of 205. If the law does not go through all the steps it will be discarded as a law and can not be brought up again. Laws that the government wants to remove have to go through four steps, the House of Representative must want it remove and the Senate and the President. If they all want it removed one of the judges from the Judicial Branch will hold a one day trial and determine if it should be removed as a law.
