When legislation is passed by both houses and signed by the President, it becomes a Public Law, also sometimes known as a Slip Law. Slip laws are later aggregated and published chronologically in volumes known as the United States Statutes at Large (Statutes at Large). Statutes of a general and permanent nature are incorporated into the United States Code (U.S. Code), which arranges the statutes by subject matter into 54 titles and five appendices.
