What is the term for the formal approval of a proposed law by the President in the United States?

Ratification.
Judicial review.
Veto.
Signing into law.

The correct answer is: Signing into law.

Veto is incorrect because it is the opposite of approval, where the President rejects a proposed law. Ratification is incorrect because it refers to the approval of a proposed law by a vote of the states or their representatives. Judicial review is incorrect because it is the power of the Supreme Court to declare a law unconstitutional, not the President's role in approving laws. Signing into law is the correct term for the formal approval of a proposed law by the President in the United States.
