No. Once a bill becomes law, the President can not veto it or nullify it. (He can refuse to enforce a law he does not like but is subject to impeachment for doing so. However if the law is controversial and his party has enough members in the Senate to make conviction impossible, he can get away with it. )

Can congress veto bills signed by the president?
No -- Congress cannot veto bills but they can override a presidents veto.( I am slightly confused by the wording of this question but I think I know the answer you are looking for. Congress creates bills and if the bill passes congress it then goes to the president. Ususally when you think of Congress you only think of voting on whether or not the bill should be seen and approved by the president. The president is the only person that can veto bills. If the president does veto the bill it can be sent back to congress for another vote to override the president's veto. With that vote 2/3 of congress have to pass it in order for it to become a law. At that point it is unlikely to override the president however, it is possible. )However, Congress can pass new legislation that repeals a previous bill that was signed by the President.
If a president does not act on a bill within 10 days what happens?
If the Congress is still in session, the bill becomes a law after 10 days even if the President has not signed it or vetoed it. If the President vetoed the bill, Congress has to override the veto in order for it to become a law. If the President has not signed the bill within 10 days and the Congress is not in session, it does not become a law. This is called a "pocket veto."
What happens after a bill has been passed and signed by speaker of the house?
If a bill has been signed and approved by both houses, it goes to the president. The president then can veto (reject) it or sign it (then it becomes a law). If the president vetos the bill, then Congress can override the veto with a 2/3rds vote majority passing the bill in both houses. If this occurs, the bill becomes 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.)
