Question: 1 / 400

What is required for a bill to become law after being signed by the President?

A majority vote in the House

A majority vote in the Senate

A veto by the President

None, it becomes law immediately

For a bill to become law after being signed by the President, it does indeed become law immediately. Once the President signs the bill, it does not require further approval from Congress. The signing signifies that the executive branch has agreed to the proposed legislation, effectively making it law.

The other choices involve conditions that either do not apply post-signature or relate to the legislative process before reaching the President. For instance, a majority vote in the House or Senate refers to the legislative approval needed while the bill is still in Congress, before it is presented to the President. A veto, which is the opposite of signing, indicates that the President has declined to enact the bill, thus requiring Congress to possibly override the veto to make it law. However, once the President signs, no additional action is needed, and the bill is enacted immediately.
