All bills and all joint resolutions which are not constitutional amendments must be signed by the President. This is part of the checks and balances of a democratic government. The President has the right to veto all proposed law sent to him for signing. If he or she vetoes, such cannot become law before it has not been self-enacted by at least 2/3 of both houses.
Concurrent resolutions may be passed by Congress without presidential approval but these have, in most cases, not the effect of a law. Congress can only make legal decissions over its own property, e.g. the Capital Rotunda, without the President's signature.
