Best Answer

In the United States, the legislative branch of the Federal government proposes bills that it wishes to be enacted into law. Many times, however, a President can make it known that it wants to make a new law. In such a case, the member of the president's party will propose a bill that the president has asked for.

When both houses of Congress pass a bill, it does not become a law until the president signs it into law.
