A federal statutory law must go before Congress, which is the legislative branch of the federal government. In the United States, the process of creating a federal statutory law typically involves the introduction of a bill in either the House of Representatives or the Senate. If the bill is approved by a majority vote in one of these chambers, it is then sent to the other chamber for consideration. If the bill is approved by both chambers, it is then sent to the president for their signature. If the president signs the bill into law, it becomes a federal statutory law. If the president vetoes the bill, it can still become law if it is passed by a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers.
