Final answer:

A law gets passed through approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the involvement of the President.

Step-by-step explanation:

A law gets passed through a process that involves approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as outlined in Section 7 Clause 2. First, the bill must be passed by a majority vote in both the Senate and the House. Then, it is sent to the President for approval. If the President signs it, the bill becomes a law. If the President does not sign it, it can still become a law if there is a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress to override the President's veto. Additionally, if the President does not act on the bill within ten days (excluding Sundays) and Congress does not adjourn, the bill becomes law without the President's signature. If Congress adjourns before the ten days are up, the bill does not become law.
