No, the president is not required to sign a bill that reaches their desk. The president has the option to either sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action. If the president vetoes the bill, Congress can attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority in both chambers. If the president takes no action for ten days while Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law.

When a new law is introduced were does it go?

First:After a law has been thought up by someone, a Congressman from any state may propose it to Congress. The proposal will be given to one of the two houses, either the House of Representatives(HOR) or the Senate Congress will then assign it to a committee. The committee will discuss it and come up with a final draft, it would be voted on in the Senate if not passed the bill is killed. If passed the bill is then passed onto the HOR. They assign it to a committee and its final draft is decided. HOR will then vote on it as the Senate did. If voted "no" the bill is killed; if voted yes the bill is passed. The drafts of the HOR and the Senate MUST be the same, if not, the process must start over. If the drafts are the same then they are put on the Presidents desk. He has 3 choices: 1. He signs the bill and it becomes a law. 2. He vetos the bill and the bill is killed. 3. He can not sign the bill at all an wait 10 days, if Congress is in session the the bill becomes a law, if not this is called a pocket veto.

Can you mount a monitor on a wooden desk?

If the desk allows for such an attachment, there is no reason you couldn't. The wood must be strong enough though, or you risk damaging the desk under the weight. In such cases, consider purchasing a hutch instead.
