Not that much. Congressional debates in the senate and in the house are when one debate either approve or disapprove a bill. If approved then it goes onto the next debate. If passed by both then it goes to the President, who has the authority to turn it into a law.
At the detailed level, the differences are many, but most are not significant, most of the time. A couple of the major differences are: In the senate, with some exceptions, debate is not limited except by the vote of 60 senators. In the House, debate is always limited, under rules defined for each bill by the Rules Committee ;
Debate in the Senate differs from the House primarily due to the size and structure of each chamber. The House has strict time limits and requires amendments to be relevant, while the Senate allows for unlimited debate and a broader range of amendments. These differences are designed to ensure that legislation is both efficient and thoroughly considered.
