Best Answer

For a federal law: The President must sign it. For a state law: The Governor must sign it. If the bill is vetoed by the Chief Executive, it can be returned to the legislature and by majority vote of that body they can over-ride the veto, and the bill will beome law without the chief executive's signature.

There are three steps involved in a bill becoming law. The bill is first approved by the house of representatives before moving onto the senate. Once the bill is passed through the house of representatives and senate, the president signs the bill, making it law.
