A bill goes through a process. It starts in one of the houses in congress, goes to committee, gets voted on by the committee, then is either changed, tabled, or stays the same, after it leaves committee the body votes on it. Then, it goes to the other body of congress and goes through the same process. If it passes both houses it goes to the president and he either signs it or vetoes it.

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.

What happens to a bill that is voted down by the senate?
For a bill to become law it must be passed by both houses of Congress, so when the Senate passes a bill, the same bill must also go to the House of Representatives, or if the House has passed a similar bill, the two bills must be reconciled by a joint committee to produce a single bill that both houses can pass. Then when both houses have passed the same bill, the bill goes to the President for his signature. The President may or may not sign the bill, and if he doesn't, Congress can over-ride the veto if they have enough votes. Otherwise the bill dies.
