WHEN AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE, THE HOUSE TRANSORMS INTO A GIANT ROBOT SHAPED LIKE GEORGE WASHINGTON. IT HAS LASERS, MISSILES, AND FIRES AMERICAN FLAGS THAT EXPLODE LIKE FIREWORKS. IT ALSO PRINTS MONEY.

This can help much more than I can.

The House of Representatives one part of the Legislative Branch of our government.
Basically, they're just one of the groups that vote on whether or not laws get passed.
And there's tons of them. I think there's a different number them from each state, depending on how populated the state is or something like that.

*rumages through Socials notes*

Let's see here...

Okay, both are for laws.

Here's the chart:

|_Govenor General_|
^
| Prime Minister & Cabinent | -> |_Senate_|
| House of Commons _|
^
|_People/Voters_|

These are my law notes >.> Okay, so, how we get laws is people/voters lobby for them (they're called a lobbyist). These are individuals or groups. They contact their member of parliamiament (MP, Federal) or member of the legislative assembly (MLA, Provincial) who then take it to the Federal Government.
It goes People/Voters -> Prime Minster & Cabinet, the House of Commons, then to the Senate, then to the Governor General.

Idea to Government -> Prime Minister and Cabinet give the Yes/No.
If Yes, it goes to the House of Commons for 3 readings (which I shant go into detail about). If at any time they say No, the bill ends there. After the second reading, however, a standing committee reviews, fixes wording, and adds things in. Then it goes to it's 3rd reading. If still Yes, it goes to the Senate (which is a system of checks and balances ("Sober 2nd thoughts"))
NOW THIS IS CONFUSING.
Goes to first reading, if Yes, continues on to second, and third reading. If it makes it past the 3rd reading, the Governor General must say Yes.
NOW, BUT if they say No the first time around it has to go back to the 3rd reading in the house of commons, then if THEY say yes, it goes to the second reading in the Senate. If they say NO again, it goes back to the House of Commons for the 3rd reading AGAIN. If they say YES again, it goes back to the Senate for the final reading. If they say no, the same thing happens but it then goes to the GG anyways >.>

WHOO.

Uh.. yeah, House of Commons is the body that play with laws and bills etc. as far as my understanding goes >.>
That's Canadian politics. Hope that helps since you mentioned the House of Commons.

They're only any good only when the President veto's a bill and they really want it to pass.
