How a law does not become a law?
Once a law is a "law" it can be repealed by Congress or overturned by the Supreme Court, if it's unconstitutional. If it hasn't yet become a law, it's just called a "bill." Laws are bills that passed votes in both houses of Congress and were then signed into law by the President. There lots of things that can prevent a bill from becoming law. If either the House of Representatives or US Senate (or both) can't muster enough votes, the bill won't become law. The bill could be sent to a House or Senate committee and die there; or it could be killed on the Senate floor if a Senator filibusters and the bill sponsors can't get enough votes to break the filibuster. The President could veto it outright, or he could stop the bill with a "pocket veto," which means Congress sends the bill to the President less than ten days before a recess, and he neither signs it nor returns it to Congress before they go out on break.
Did Barack Obama made new laws?
No, he did not. Under the American system of government, a president can propose or suggest a new policy, and he can advocate for something he would like to see become a law. But he cannot make any laws. Only congress can do that. Congress votes on a bill, and if the bill gets enough votes, it becomes a law. After that happens, the president can either sign it or veto it. But the laws themselves still come from the congress.
Is a veto when the president sign a bill?
No, a veto is when the president returns a bill to Congress with his or her objections. It does not become law unless Congress votes by 2/3 majorities in both houses to override the President's veto.
