Richard Nixon was President when The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed.
On December 29, 1970, President Richard M. Nixon signed The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, also known as the Williams-Steiger Act in honor of the two men who pressed so hard for its passage.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) was passed and signed into law in 1970. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), created by the Act, began operation in 1971.
The President
The original OSHA standards, adopted during the first 6 months after the Agency was established, came from existing government standards and and consensus standards such as those issued by ANSI.
In the USA, if a law passed both houses of congress, the president has to sign the "bill" to make it a law. Then the president's job is to effect the law -- to carry out the law (which may or may not be done in a timely manner).
the congress can veto a law the president passed
To make a bill a law, the president signs it. However, if the president takes no action before the time for the president's action expires, and Congress is still in session, the bill automatically becomes law.
This act was signed by President Lyndon Johnson. The House version was passed while Kennedy was president but Johnson was the president by the time it was passed by the Senate and became law.
Congress cannot veto a law. Any law must be written and passed by Congress in the first place. The president can then veto it. Congress can override the veto with a 2/3 majority. After a law is passed, the Supreme Court can strike it down if they declare the law unconstitutional.
Standards and regulations issued by OSHA are examples of Administrative Law.
