When a bill is passed by Congress and is presented to the President, he/she has ten days, not counting Sundays, to act on it. There are three things a President can do with a bill:
Veto, sign into law, or take no action.
Once the President receives a measure passed by Congress he can sign the bill into law. If it is not signed and Congress adjourns before ten days of the President receiving the bill, it does not become a law. This is called a pocket veto. The President can veto the bill, send it back to Congress with his reasons for the veto. If Congress overrides the veto with a two-third majority vote, the bill becomes law.
He never was president.
In 1789, the First Congress elected House of Representatives and Senators. The electoral votes were counted and George Washington became the first President of the United States.
Ten days
1. Sign the bill, making it law.2. Veto it, and the measure must then be returned to Congress. However, Congress can override the presidential veto by a two-thirds vote in each of its two chambers.3. The President may allow the bill to become law by not acting on it, neither signing nor vetoing it, within 10 days (not counting Sundays).4. Pocket veto, which can only be used at the end of a congressional session. If Congress adjourns within 10 days of sending a bill to the President and the chief executive does not act on it, the measure dies.
An action that Congress can take when the president vetoes a bill is that if it is vetoed it goes back from where the bill was once started and based on a 2/3 majority vote it will be passed if not it is discard and the subject wont come up till a few years later when it is introduced again.

The Bill goes back to the Congress with the president's explanation of his objection. Congress can either take no action or try to get a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate to enact the legislation over the President's objection.

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.)
