Legislative Duties
The Governor of the State of Illinois signs bills that the Illinois State Legislature passes into law.
No, they can not. The President/Governor are the ones that signs a bill into law
http://www.house.mo.gov/content.aspx?info=/info/howbill.htm SIGNING BY THE GOVERNOR Bills Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed are signed in open session by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tem of the Senate. At the time of signing, any members may file written objections which are sent with the bill to the Governor. The Governor has fifteen days to act on a bill if it is sent to him during the legislative session; and forty-five days if the legislature has adjourned or has recessed for a thirty day period. The Governor has four options:1. Sign the bill, making it become part of Missouri law. 2. Veto the bill. In this case, the bill is returned to the General Assembly where a two-thirds vote of both houses is required to override the veto. 3. Not sign the bill. Should the Governor take no action within the prescribed time, the bill goes to the Secretary of State, who then enrolls the bill as an authentic act. It then becomes law. 4. Veto line-items in an appropriation bill. On appropriation bills only, the Governor may choose to veto selected items within the bill. The General Assembly may override this veto by a two-thirds majority of both houses.
That is an example of separation of powers. Only the general assembly can make laws, but governor can veto them if he chooses.
It depends on your country and system of legislature. For example, the U.S. requires the president to sign a bill in, but in other countries the appproval of the monarch or their representative may be needed.
On May 6, 2008, Maine Governor John Baldacci was the first US Governor to sign a same-sex marriage bill into law. The bill does not, however, take effect until January 5, 2013, because of a public referendum that temporarily interfered with its implementation. Same-sex marriage had already been legalized in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont, but without their governors signing the bill into law. FIRST GOVERNOR TO EFFECTIVE LEGISLATE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: On June 3, 2008, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed that state's marriage equality bill into law. FIRST GOVERNOR TO ISSUE EXECUTIVE ORDER: On May 17, 2004, Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts became the first US governor to order clerks in his state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. FIRST GOVERNOR TO LEGISLATE CIVIL UNIONS: [On April 26, 2000, Vermont Governor Howard Dean signed a Civil Union bill into law.]
The opposite of signing a bill is vetoing a bill.
