On Passage
U.S. Senate, U.S. Constitution
The vote on passing the bill or joint resolution in the Senate. Both kinds go to the President if both chambers pass them in the same form.
- A Yea meant:
- Pass it in the Senate.
- A Nay meant:

A bill becomes law only after passing both the House and the Senate in the same form and being presented to the President, who may sign it or veto it (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 7).
