Bipartisan Parties Support Order Make Involving Members Political

word bipartisan
definition Involving members of two political parties.
eg_sentence The president named a bipartisan commission of three Republicans and three Democrats to look into the issue.
explanation Partisan means basically “belonging to a party,” so something bipartisan combines two parties. Since the United States today operates with a two-party system of government (even though the Constitution says nothing about parties at all), legislation often must have some bipartisan support in order to pass into law. Bipartisan committees review legislation, compromising on some points and removing or adding others in order to make the bill more agreeable to both parties and make bipartisan support from the entire legislature or Congress more likely
