What happens if the house and senate versions of a bill are different? the differences immediately cause the bill to die and it doesn’t go any farther. the house and senate try to work out differences in a conference committee. each version is voted on in a joint session with all members of the house and senate. the senate can pass its version by majority vote, and the bill then goes to the president.

Many times the house and senate pass slightly different versions of a bill. If this happens both the House and the Senate appoint conferees to work out a compromise. If both the House and the Senate pass the bill from the conference committee, then the bill is sent to the president.

well it depends i think people around the world are coming around to gay marriage. but if you are talking abortion then wow, so much to talk about. such as men thinking they have the right to choose if women can, the fact there are health concerns if the women can't get one, and many more arguments to discuss. so i would definitely say abortion would be a much more interesting topic.
