Who is responsible for making federal laws?

Congress is the body responsible for making federal laws in the United States. It is a bicameral legislature that consists of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Members of Congress are elected by the public to represent their interests and are tasked with drafting, debating, and voting on legislation that impacts the country as a whole.

The legislative process begins when a member of Congress proposes a bill. This bill goes through various stages of review, amendment, and approval before it can become law. After passing in both houses of Congress, the bill is then sent to the President for approval or veto.

The President, while an important part of the federal government, does not make laws but rather enforces them. The Supreme Court interprets laws and can rule on their constitutionality but does not have the authority to create or enact laws. Similarly, states have their own laws and regulations but are not involved in the creation of federal laws.
