<P> The most important executive communication is usually the president 's annual message which contains a lengthy budget proposal . Drafting statutes is an art that requires `` great skill , knowledge , and experience . '' Congressional committees sometimes draft bills after studies and hearings covering periods of a year or more . A proposal may be introduced in Congress as a bill , a joint resolution , a concurrent resolution , or a simple resolution . Most legislative proposals are introduced as bills , but some are introduced as joint resolutions . There is little practical difference between the two , except that joint resolutions may include preambles but bills may not . Joint resolutions are the normal method used to propose a constitutional amendment or to declare war . On the other hand , concurrent resolutions ( passed by both houses ) and simple resolutions ( passed by only one house ) do not have the force of law . Instead , they serve to express the opinion of Congress , or to regulate procedure . In many cases , lobbyists write legislation and submit it to a member for introduction .
