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.)
