The President will read the bill. He then has a few options of how to address the bill.
The President may agree with the bill, sign it, and the bill will become a law. If the President doesn’t sign the bill within 10 days and Congress is NOT IN SESSION, the bill will not become a law. This is known as a “pocket veto”. If the President doesn’t sign the bill within 10 days and Congress is IN SESSION, the bill will become a law. If the President doesn’t agree, he can veto the bill, and it will be sent back to Congress.
