Once a bill has passed both the House and Senate, it becomes necessary to reconcile the differences between the two versions of bills. There is no requirement to hold a conference; in fact that is one of the ways the party in power may be able to kill a bill it does not want.. The decision is left to the Majority Leader in the Senate and the Speaker of the House as is the naming of conferees. In most cases disagreements are ironed out be staff with only major issues left to the conferees. It is at this time that the president may also make his wishes known. Once final language is agreed upon the bill returns to the House and Senate for final approval before it is sent to the president for signature.
