It is likely that the president's power to veto and the Supreme Court's power to revoke bills

serves to check Congress's lawmaking powers.

A legislative body refers to

the Senate and House members as an entire group.

From the passage, one can conclude that for a bill to become law it must

pass in both the House and the Senate.

Each body of Congress consists of

representatives elected by the citizens in their state.

If a bill introduced in the House never reached the Senate, it is likely that

the Senate committee killed the bill.
