As a Representative from Tennessee in 1835, Davy Crockett would have sponsored a bill which would then be assigned to a committee for further study before becoming a law. Crockett acknowledges that any bill that received his sponsorship would be done so with the backing of the American people's trust and best interest as opposed to holding any political party's best interest.
As a Senator, John F. Kennedy would have the ability to vote towards a bill being made into a law. Kennedy acknowledges that sometimes office-holding government officials and political parties differ on interests and beliefs and that Senators may have to rely on their own and beliefs and conscience to make decisions about laws.
When casting their votes, it is important for members of Congress (senators and representatives) to consider both the feelings of voters and/or their own beliefs. Keep in mind that Senators are voted in to office every six years and are voted in by their state while Representatives are voted in to office every two years by regions of their state (which can be effected by population size).
