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

  1. Ratification.

  2. Judicial review.

  3. Veto.

  4. 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.
