Who signs bills into law after passage?

Explanation:
When a bill has been approved by both houses of Congress, it is the President who signs it into law. The President’s signature is what officially enacts the legislation. If the President signs, it becomes law. If the President vetoes, Congress can try to override the veto with a two-thirds vote in both houses. If the President does not sign within ten days while Congress is in session, it becomes law; if Congress adjourns and the President hasn’t signed, it can be a pocket veto. The Speaker of the House, the Vice President, and the Chief Justice do not sign bills into law.
