The correct answer is number five: signed into law by the President.

Explanation:

The final process of creating legislation is in the hands of the President. All bills originate, are considered and voted on in Congress, which is the legislative body of the US. When a bill receives the majority of votes in favor of both chambers, it is sent to the President, who has the power to sign it into law so that it can be enforced immediately, or the power to reject it. If the President rejects the bill, then it is sent back to Congress so that chambers members get the opportunity to override the Presidential veto with a certain number of votes.
