Question: 1 / 400

Who has the authority to sign bills into law?

The Vice President

The Speaker of the House

The President

The authority to sign bills into law rests with the President of the United States. Once both chambers of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate, have approved a bill, it is sent to the President. Upon receiving the bill, the President has the option to either sign it into law, thereby enacting the legislation, or to veto it, sending it back to Congress with reasons for the veto.

This process emphasizes the checks and balances within the U.S. government, as the legislative branch (Congress) can propose and pass legislation, but it is ultimately the executive branch (the President) that has the final authority to approve or reject it. This system ensures that no single branch of government has unchecked power over the law-making process.
