I don't know how it works in the USA but over here in the UK people hold the misconception that laws can only be passed once they have been voted in via the House of Commons and approved by a vote in the House of Lords.

This is not true. Only a tiny fraction of the "laws" that govern this country go through parliament. Unfortunately I can't find the info to back it up at the moment- anyone out there who can expand on this please?
