How can a bill or law vetoed by the president still become a law?

Yes, but not necessarily. Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a Law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a Law." Therefore if Congress is still in session after the President's ten day signing period expires and the President does not return the law to Congress (ostensibly with a veto or signing it), it becomes law by default. If Congress is not in session on the appropriate day, it becomes vetoed by default.
