Who signs bills to become laws?

The President signs bills to become laws, acting as the final step in the legislative process at the federal level. Once both chambers of Congress—namely the House of Representatives and the Senate—have passed a bill, it is sent to the President for approval or veto. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law; if not, the bill can still become law if Congress overrides the veto with a two-thirds majority in both chambers. This constitutional role emphasizes the President's authority in shaping legislation and ensuring it aligns with the executive vision for the country.

Other roles, such as those held by the Vice President or congressional leaders like the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader, involve significant functions in the legislative process, but ultimately, the President's signature is required for a bill to officially become law.
