However, both House (teachers) and Senate (counselors) can override the veto to make it a law with 2/3 votes. If he chose not to veto or sign, it will become a law automatically after 10 days. If Congress adjourns during the 10 days after the bill is sent to the President and he does not sign it, the bill is automatically vetoed.
- The Bill will be written off as a public law by the Office of Federal Register and the Government Printing Office will publish it.
