Question 43 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

Who signs bills to become laws?

Accepted answer

  • The President (of the United States)

Why this is the answer

Once both houses of Congress pass a bill, it goes to the President. If the President agrees with it, the President signs it and it becomes a law that everyone in the country must follow. Congress writes; the President signs. That signature is the last step, and it is one of the checks that the executive branch holds over the legislative branch. Memory hook: a bill becomes a law with the President's signature.
