In most cases, House rules will limit debate so that important legislation can be passed during one legislative business day. In the Senate however, the majority has the power to schedule when various bills come to the floor for voting but a single Senator can slow legislation from coming to the floor for a vote. Since debate in the Senate is not concluded until 60 senators vote for a cloture motion to approve a bill for consideration, the majority must also coordinate with the minority part to set the rules for debate on legislation.
Under this system, legislation can be debated for one or two weeks on the Senate floor alone. Why does Congress use the committee system? Congress deals with a broad variety of different policy issues and it is more efficient to have work done at the committee level than on the House or Senate floor. In addition, this system allows members to gain expertise in specific issue areas they are interested in. Throughout history, committees have been created to address particular issues before Congress.
The House has 23 committees while the Senate has a total of 20 committees. How does a bill become a law? Passing legislation into law is a complicated and lengthy process between the House and Senate before the bill is presented before the President to be signed into law.

Constitution, Congress is responsible for making all federal laws. The legislative process involves a number of steps. A bill is introduced in either chamber; committees hold hearings and markups; the whole chamber votes on it; it is passed to the other chamber for a vote; any differences between the the two chambers are resolved; and it is presented to the President for his signature or veto.
My Legislative Process page has a more comprehensive overview of each of the steps. There are voting members in the House of Representatives and members in the Senate. Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms; elections for each seat are held every even numbered year.
