∙ 12y agoGenerally, because the Presidency is a day-time job whereas Congress has extended recesses, it is very rare that a President doesn't either sign a bill into law or veto it. If he vetoes it, it goes back to the Senate and a 2/3 majority can vote to pass the law without his signature.

∙ 12y agoA bill can become without the president's signature if both chambers of Congress pass the bill that is subsequently vetoed by the president. The president's veto can then be overturned by a 3/4 supermajority vote in Congress. The bill then becomes law without the approval of the Executive Branch.

∙ 12y agoCongress (House as Senate) can override a President's veto by passing the bill by a 2/3 majority. This is the only way that a bill can become law without a Presidential signature.
In the United States, Congress passes a bill by a simple majority and sends it to the President to sign into law or to veto the bill. If the President vetoes the bill, he sends it back to Congress. At that time they have a chance to override the veto and make it law without a Presidential signature.

A bill can become law without the signature of the chief executive. The President has ten days minus any Sundays, to sign or veto a bill. This applies while Congress is in session. If Congress sends a bill to the president but then adjourns he can simply put the bill in a desk and in effect the bill is vetoed with no action taken by the president. If the Congress is in session and a bill is sent to the president he has those ten days to decide what to do. If he does nothing, does not sign the bill nor veto the bill the bill becomes law.
