What is the term for the formal approval of a proposed law by the President in the United States?

Ratification.
Judicial review.
Veto.
Signing into law.

The correct answer is: Signing into law.

The term for the formal approval of a proposed law by the President in the United States is called "Signing into law." The other options are incorrect because Ratification is the process by which a proposed law is officially approved by the necessary number of states in the legislative branch. Judicial review is the power of the courts to determine the constitutionality of laws and government actions. Veto is the power of the President to reject a proposed law. Therefore, out of the given choices, only "Signing into law" accurately describes the process of the President formally approving a proposed law.
