State gov. signs laws; legislature passes laws.

Prospective laws can be started within either the House of Representative or the Senate. If passed by the house that started the bill it is sent to the other house. If that house passes the prospective law it is sent to the President, or if on the state level to the Governor. If the President or Governor is in favor of the law he signs it "into" law. If he does not favor the law it is vetoed.
A President or Governor can not just erroneously state this is a new law. It must go through the steps outlined above...

Depends on the state constitution, although I don't think there is a state that allows the Governor to pass laws, also those laws are weak, in that federal law trumps state law, and state and federal law both trump country and local laws.

They can try but it has to be debated on the House and Senate floor and of course pass

congress (which is the government) passes bills. governors signs bills and they become law.

are you serious? have you had any civics in school at all, are you old enough to vote? ignorance of your own country and its laws and constitution shows you have no civic responsibility what so ever. please learn these things to become a productive citizen and not a drain on society
