AN OUTLINE OF LAW MAKING PROCESS IN THE USA
The US congress, the law making arm of the federal government, con- sists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Any congressmen in either house, or the president, may initiate new legisla- tion.
The proposed legislation, or bill, is first introduced in the House of Representatives, then referred to one of the standing committees, which organizes hearings on it and may approve, amend or shelve the draft. If the committee passes the bill, it is considered by the House of Representatives as a whole. If passed there it goes to the Senate for a similar sequence of committee hearings and general debate.
In cases of disagreement the House of Representatives and the Senate confer together. Once passed by the Senate as a whole, the bill has to be examined by two more standing committees - the Commit- tee on House Administration and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration - and is then signed by the speaker of the House and by the president of the Senate.
Finally, it must be signed by the president who has the right to veto it. If the president vetoes a bill, it can still become a law - but only if it is passed by a two - thirds majority in both houses of Congress.

Задание 16. Переведите текст со словарем:
SUNDAY BLUES
The so-called blue laws in the United States might better be called Sunday laws, because their intent has been to forbid or restrict business, trade, paid work, or other commercial activities on Sunday' the Sabbath of major Christian sects. In the mid 1980s blue laws haa been repealed orsimply ignored in many parts of the nation but con- tinued to be observed in certain religious communities.
Secular arguments against blue laws are that they violate the con- stitutional guarantee of separation of church and state and favor one religion, Christianity. A secular argument supporting them is that eve- rybody needs a day of rest each week. Proscribing work on Sundays goes back at least to 4-th century Rome under Constantine the Great, and the practice was strictly supported in the religion - oriented American colonies. The term blue law is said to have arisen from a list of Sabbath rules printed on blue paper for residents of New Haven, Connecticut, in 1781.
