Acts of Congress

Acts of Congress are laws that have been officially approved and enacted by the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the federal government. Once both the House of Representatives and the Senate pass a proposed law, it is sent to the President for approval. If signed, it becomes a formal law that guides government actions, sets policies, or establishes regulations. These acts cover a wide range of issues, from national security to healthcare and education, and serve as the foundation for federal legal authority and governance.
