There are two reasons it is difficult for a bill to become a law: one is structural, the other is political. Structurally, in the United States, a bill must be passed by a majority of both houses of Congress. In addition, for many bills, the U.S. Senate allows unlimited debate unless at least 60 Senators agree to end debate, so as a practical matter, for many bills, the bill cannot advance to a final vote without the support of at least three-fifths of the Senators. After passing both Houses of Congress, the bill must still be approved by the President before becoming law.
