No. If law passes the house and the senate, then it goes to the President who makes the decision to pass or veto the law.

No, the president and vice president do not vote on laws before they are passed by Congress. The legislative branch, which includes Congress, is responsible for drafting, debating, and voting on proposed legislation. The president's role is to either sign bills into law or veto them, while the vice president's role is to preside over the Senate and only vote in the event of a tie.

What happens when a president ignores a bill for 10 days when Congress is not in session?
You're thinking of what's become known as a "pocket veto." The answer is, it depends on what Congress does. If the President hangs onto the bill for ten days and Congress is *still in session* then the bill becomes law without his signature. If, on the other hand, Congress adjourns (closes down and goes home) before the ten-day mark, then the bill fails, as though the President had vetoed it. Also, Sundays don't count (so if the President gets a bill on a Friday, he has until the Wednesday after next to make up his mind).
Who passes bill in the US?
A bill can be proposed in either house of Congress (the Senate or the House of Representatives). It is voted on in the house in which it is proposed; if it passes, it is sent to the other chamber of Congress, where it can be edited, amended, and voted on. If it is passed in the second house of Congress, then it is sent back to the first house to approve any changes that are made. If there are significant differences, sometimes a committee is formed between the two houses to iron these out. Once the bill has been approved in identical forms in both houses of Congress, it is sent to the President. If he signs it, it becomes law; if he vetoes it, it is sent back to the house of Congress where it originated. If it passes by a 2/3 vote in each house, then it becomes law without the president's signature.

What happens when a bill dies as a result of no presidential signature?
If the President signs a bill that has been passed by Congress, it does not die, but becomes law. I have never heard of a President signing a bill before it was passed by Congress, but if he did and it died, I suppose it would mean that he was in danger of being known as a weak President.

After a bill has been sent to the president it becomes a law if he does not send it back?
The bill doesn't become law unless the president signs it. When the president receives a bill from Congress he has two options 1) he may veto it; which is to essentially reject it or 2) he can sign it; it then becomes law. If a president ignores a bill that is passed by Congress for 10 days, it passes with or without his signature. There is an exception, the "pocket veto." If a president ignores a bill and Congress adjourns, the bill dies (as if he folded it up and stuck it in his pocket). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_veto
