If the president does not sign a bill that has been passed by both the House and Senate, it can still become law if the president does not take any action within 10 days (not counting Sundays). This is called a "pocket veto." However, if Congress is in session during those 10 days, the bill can still become law without the president's signature. This is known as a "passive approval." Additionally, if the president vetoes the bill, Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate.
