List of acts of the 114th United States Congress

The list of acts of the 114th United States Congress includes all Acts of Congress and ratified treaties by the 114th United States Congress, which began on January 3, 2015, and lasted until January 3, 2017.

Acts include public and private laws, which are enacted after being passed by Congress and signed by the President; however, if the President vetoes a bill it can still be enacted by a two-thirds vote in both houses. The Senate alone considers treaties, which must be ratified by a two-thirds vote.
