A president can
1)veto a bill - means to not accept it
2) sign the bill- would make the bill become law
not sure what a third one can be only if he makes congress check it again i guess.
The president can sign the bill into law (has 10 days to act, not counting Sundays), veto the bill (returning it to Congress without signature and with his objections), or do nothing, in which case the bill becomes law without his signature after 10 days.
There are actually 4 things that a president can do once he receives a bill on his desk.
1. The president can sign the bill, therefore signifying that the legislation is now signed into law.
2. The president can veto the bill.
3. The president can do nothing for 10 days, excluding Sundays, at which time the bill automatically becomes law without having to have the presidents signature or congress's ratification. (The president has 10 days while the congress is in session, excluding Sundays, to sign a bill or it automatically becomes law).
4. The president can use a pocket veto. This occurs when the president allows a bill to remain on his desk both unsigned and without a veto until the congressional session ends. This can only occur when the congress has less that 10 working days, excluding Sundays, left in their session. If a bill is still on the president's desk within those 10 days when a congressional session ends, the bill is considered dead, and does not go into law or back to the congress for ratification.
Veto it, which means deny it, or pass it, then it becames a law.

The president can do two things to the bill passed congress what are they?
veto it or pass it. 2nd Answer: Good answer, but the president can also simply not veto or sign it, but let it just sit there. Here's how it works: The President has 10 days, not counting Sundays to sign or veto a bill. If (s)he does neither and Congress is in session, the bill then passes just as if (s)he signed it. If (s)he does neither, and Congress is out of session, even if the President already has the bill, then the bill fails. This is called a 'pocket veto'. (Put the bill in your pocket and forget about it.)

After a bill has gone through both houses of congress where does it go?
At this point, the bill is sent to the President. If he or she signs it, the bill becomes law. If the President vetoes the bill, it is sent back to congress. Now, it will take a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives to override the President's veto and make the bill a law. (It is very hard to get a 2/3 vote.) There is also a pocket veto where the President does nothing and just lets the bill die. (Look up pocket veto.)
