If both houses of Congress agree on a bill, it is sent to the President. The President can then can do one of three things:
1. sign and make it a law
2. veto it which means to send it back to Congress with his objection.
3. Just hold it. If he does this , it automatically becomes a law after 10 days unless Congress adjourns before the days are up. Otherwise, it dies as if it had been vetoed.
