Because laws are passed by both the House and the Senate, then the President signs it.

Bills start in either house. Each passes the bill. Amendments are always added. Once passing each house, a Conference Committee of Senators and Representatives negotiate the differences out of each version of the bill. Then each House does a final vote for passage. The President signs or vetoes. Signed are now law. Vetoes go back to the floor of each house for 2/3 majority (might be 3/5) to override the veto. If not, the Bill is dead.

So, yes, the Senate can vote on its version of the bailout. Giving time for the bailout to be modified and then sent to the House of Representatives for a vote.
