This is a partial list of notable United States federal legislation.At the federal level in the United States, legislation consists exclusively of Acts passed by the Congress of the United States (and its predecessor, the Continental Congress), which were either signed into law by the President or passed by Congress after a presidential veto.
Legislation is not the only source of regulations with force of law. However, most executive branch regulations must originate in a congressional grant of power. See also: Executive orders of the President; regulations of Executive branch departments and administrative agencies; and the procedural rules of the federal courts.
