In theUnited States Congress, anenrolled bill is the final copy of abill orjoint resolution which has passed bothhouses of Congress in identical form, and been signed by the clerk of the house or the secretary of the senate.[1][2]
In the United States, enrolled bills are engrossed—prepared in a formally printed copy—and must be signed by the presiding officers of both houses and sent to thepresident of the United States for approval.[3] The practice of engrossing a handwritten copy in the style of anilluminated manuscript fell out of favor in the 1790s. The 1789Constitution of the United States did receive this treatment.[4]
