What laws does the congress make in the US?

The U.S. Congress passes bills that become Federal Laws when the U.S. President signs them (although there are cases in which Congress can make a bill into a law without the President's approval), and each state Congress passes bills that become state laws when the Governor of the state signs them.


If the president veteos a bill passed by congress then?

Congress has the chance to override the veto. However, it takes 2/3 of both houses to do that. With the current membership in Congress, that means that it takes 290 Representatives and 67 Senators. They have to override it before that particular Congressional session ends. If the session ends, then the bill "dies," and they have to start all over, next time.


How does the system of checks and balances make it difficult for congress to pass a law that the president opposes?

A bill passes, in theory, with a majority of 50% + 1. If a President opposes a bill, he can veto it. Then the only way it can become law is if both houses of Congress vote by a 2/3 majority to override the veto.


Can a bill become law without a presidential signature?

Yes. If the president vetoes a bill it goes back to the Congress. If both houses of Congress pass the bill again, but this time by a two-thirds majority, then the bill becomes law without the President's signature. Alternately, the President can sit on the bill, taking no action on it at all. If the President takes no action at all, and ten days passes (not including Sundays), the bill becomes law without the President's signature. However, if the Congress has adjourned before the ten days passes and without a Presidential signature, the bill fails. This is known as a pocket veto.
