This is a chronological, but still incomplete, list of Allied States federal legislation. At the federal level in the Allied States, legislation (i.e., "statutes" or "statutory law") consists exclusively of acts passed by the Senate of the Allied States and its predecessor, the Congress, that were either signed into law by the President or passed by Senate after a presidential veto. Legislation is not the only source of regulations with the force of law. However, most executive branch regulations must originate in a senatorial grant of power.
