Does the president need to sign legislation before it becomes law?
Yes, in the United States, the president must sign legislation for it to become law. After Congress passes a bill, it is sent to the president, who can either sign it into law or veto it.

Alternatively, if the president takes no action for ten days while Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law.
