/tə blɑk ə bɪl/ – Phrase
Definition: chống lại một dự luật.
A more thorough explanation: To “block a bill” in legal terms refers to the act of preventing a proposed piece of legislation from advancing through the legislative process. This can be done through various means, such as filibustering, voting against the bill, or using parliamentary procedures to delay or halt its progress. Blocking a bill effectively stops it from becoming law.
Example: The senator used a filibuster to block the passage of the bill in the legislative session.
