List of United States federal legislation

From LawGuru Wiki

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.

"Public Laws"

Acts of Congress are published in the United States Statutes at Large. Today, Acts of Congress are designated in the form: Public Law X-Y where X is the number of the ordinal Congress and Y is the number of the chronological order of the Act in that Congress. For example, the Help America Vote Act, Public Law 107-252, was the 252nd Act of the 107th Congress. Furthermore, many statutes have also been codified into the United States Code. Where known, Acts below will be listed with their common names and Public Law (or "PL") number.
