1. Sign the bill, making it law.
2. Veto it, and the measure must then be returned to Congress. However, Congress can override the presidential veto by a two-thirds vote in each of its two chambers.
3. The President may allow the bill to become law by not acting on it, neither signing nor vetoing it, within 10 days (not counting Sundays).
4. Pocket veto, which can only be used at the end of a congressional session. If Congress adjourns within 10 days of sending a bill to the President and the chief executive does not act on it, the measure dies.
A President can sign a bill or veto it. He can veto the whole bill or do an amendatory veto, where he only vetos certain parts of the bill that he disagrees with and the bill would be sent back to Congress. He can also not sign the bill, and after ten days the bill will become law without the president's signature. this is called a pocket veto.
If Congress passed a bill, the president :
He can sign the bill into law, he can veto (reject it, sending it back to Congress) or do nothing with it. If it is vetoed, there is a chance that the Congress could overide his veto (if enough of them support the law) However, if he does nothing with it (known as a pocket veto) it can be held up until it is too late in the legislative session for them to try to override a veto.
Sign into law, send back to congress, veto, or pocket veto.

When a bill is passed by Congress and is presented to the President, he/she has ten days, not counting Sundays, to act on it. There are three things a President can do with a bill:The President can sign the bill, making it a law.The President can return it to the House of Congress where it originated with his/her objections to it. That is called a veto.The President can do nothing. If the President fails to act on a bill within the ten days allowed and Congress is still in session at the end of the ten days, the bill automatically becomes a law, as if the President had signed it. If Congress is no longer in session at the end of the ten days, the bill does not become law. That is known as a pocket veto.
go to the capital and check for himself. Or he can have it sent to him. He is the president.
When a US Predident receives a bill, he does have the option of doing nothing. In this case, two things can happen. If Congress is in session at any point within a period of 10 business days after the President receives the bill, it automatically becomes law. If Congress does not convene within 10 days, the bill dies and Congress cannot override it. This is known as a pocket veto.
The president makes an announcement in a press conference.
The bill doesn't become law unless the president signs it. When the president receives a bill from Congress he has two options 1) he may veto it; which is to essentially reject it or 2) he can sign it; it then becomes law. If a president ignores a bill that is passed by Congress for 10 days, it passes with or without his signature. There is an exception, the "pocket veto." If a president ignores a bill and Congress adjourns, the bill dies (as if he folded it up and stuck it in his pocket). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_veto
