Who signs bills to become laws?

The President signs bills into law, which is a fundamental role in the legislative process. Once Congress passes a bill, it is sent to the President, who has the power to either sign the bill into law or veto it. This action is significant because it directly impacts the creation and enforcement of federal laws. The President’s signature signifies approval and is the final step necessary for a bill to transition from proposal to legal statute.

This process illustrates the system of checks and balances established by the Constitution, ensuring that no single branch of government becomes too powerful. The other roles mentioned, while important in their own right, do not have the authority to sign bills into law. The Vice President's primary duty in this context is to preside over the Senate and may cast a tie-breaking vote; the Speaker of the House primarily leads the House of Representatives and manages legislative procedure, while the Chief Justice handles the judicial branch, including Supreme Court decision-making but not the signing of legislation.
