If he gets the bill more than 10 days before Congress adjourns, it becomes law even if he does not sign it unless he vetoes it and so informs Congress.
The "pocket veto" is a special power of the President exercised when the Congress adjourns, whereby bills not signed by the President after a specific time (ten days, not counting Sunday), die. The Chief Executive "puts the bill in his pocket" and waits for Congress to adjourn.
