What laws from the Legislature have been passed and followed?
A Law is a Bill That has been passed. once a bill is signed by the President or his veto is overridden by both houses it becomes a law and is assigned an official number.
The bill is first introduced by a member of the legislature and then it is referred to a committee in both houses. Each house must then vote on the bill and if a majority vote is reached in both houses, the bill then it sent to the President to be signed into law.
For a bill to become law it must be passed by both houses of Congress, so when the Senate passes a bill, the same bill must also go to the House of Representatives, or if the House has passed a similar bill, the two bills must be reconciled by a joint committee to produce a single bill that both houses can pass. Then when both houses have passed the same bill, the bill goes to the President for his signature. The President may or may not sign the bill, and if he doesn't, Congress can over-ride the veto if they have enough votes. Otherwise the bill dies.

A veto is the power of the executive branch to reject a bill passed by the legislative branch. It prevents the bill from becoming law unless the veto is overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the legislature. On the other hand, a pocket veto occurs when the president or governor takes no action on a bill passed by the legislature within a specified period (usually 10 days) when the legislative session is ending. In this case, the bill does not become law.
