A law passed by both the House and Senate and was signed by the President, for your edification:

Actually, Amendments are not signed by the President. In fact, even the Volstead Act (which was the law that gave the enforcement teeth to the 18th amendment) wasn't signed by the President. Wilson actually vetoed it, only to have his veto overruled.
