Who signs bills to become laws? (65/20 version)

Correct answer

The President

  1. A The Chief Justice
  2. B The President
  3. C The Speaker of the House
  4. D The Vice President

Why this is the answer

The President signs bills to become laws. This is a 65/20 civics question. After both the House and the Senate pass a bill, it goes to the President, who can sign it into law or veto it. If the President vetoes a bill, Congress can still make it law by overriding the veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. This process illustrates the system of checks and balances. The President's role in signing legislation is part of the executive branch's function and appears in both the standard and 65/20 civics lists.
