In the USA, both houses of congress must pass the bill, and the
president must sign it for it to become a law.  (There are a few
exceptions:  If the president doesn't sign it within ten days and
congress is in session on the tenth day, it becomes law.  Also, if
president vetoes it and each house of congress votes by a 2-1 (or
greater) margin to override the veto, it becomes law.)
