What must happen for a bill to become law?

  1. It must be signed by the Secretary of State

  2. It must be approved by the Supreme Court

  3. It must be approved by the House and Senate and signed by the President

  4. It needs public approval through a referendum

The correct answer is: It must be approved by the House and Senate and signed by the President

A bill must go through both the House of Representatives and the Senate and be passed in both chambers with a majority vote. Once passed, it then goes to the President for approval. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law. The Secretary of State and Supreme Court do not play a role in the passage of a bill becoming a law. Additionally, public approval through a referendum is not required for a bill to become a law.
