American Government CLEP Prep Practice Exam

When the President signs a proposed law, this is known as "signing into law" or "enacting a law". This means that the President formally approves the legislation and it is then passed to become an official law. The other options are incorrect because - "Ratification" is the process of formally approving something, but in the context of lawmaking, this usually refers to the approval of a proposed amendment to the Constitution by the states. - "Judicial review" is the power of the judiciary to declare laws or actions of the government unconstitutional. - "Veto" is when the President rejects or refuses to sign a proposed law, preventing it from becoming a law. Therefore, D is the best answer as it specifically refers to the action of the President formally approving a proposed law.
