The President can use a "pocket veto", if a bill comes to the White House to be signed close to the time Congress is due to conclude their current session. If it isn't signed by the time they get out of session, the bill will die unpassed, unless carefully worded otherwise. This is sometimes used with unpopular bills, or ones the President does not want to be seen to reject or support.

How can a president override a congress bill?
He cannot. The president can veto the bill, returning it to Congress without his signature. Congress can override the President's veto by a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate. If the Congress overrides the President's veto, it becomes law even if he doesn't like it. If the President refuses to enforce the law, he is violating his Constitutional oath to ensure that the laws will be faithfully executed, which would be an impeachable offense. Congress could then "fire" the President by removing him from office.

What happens in a pocket veto?
When a bill is sent to the president to be ratified, the president can choose to sign it into law, reject it by veto (sending it back to Congress, which may attempt to override the veto by 2/3 vote of both houses), or neither sign nor veto, in which case it will become law after 10 days (not including Sundays) without his signature. There is one circumstance where a president withholding signature results in killing the bill, and this is the pocket veto. A pocket veto may only be used when two circumstances exist: when Congress has adjourned, and when that adjournment prevents return of the bill by the president to Congress. In the modern era, these circumstances arise at the end of a two year congress.
