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." This is when the President signs a bill passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, making it an official law in the United States. The other options are incorrect because A: Ratification refers to the process of approving a treaty or amendment to the Constitution, not a proposed law. B: Judicial review is a power held by the Supreme Court to review and potentially strike down laws that are deemed unconstitutional, but it does not involve the formal approval of a proposed law. C: Veto is the act of rejecting a proposed law by the President, not approving it. Veto power is used when the President does not agree with the proposed law and wants it to be reconsidered.
