Once the President receives a measure passed by Congress he can sign the bill into law. If it is not signed and Congress adjourns before ten days of the President receiving the bill, it does not become a law. This is called a pocket veto. The President can veto the bill, send it back to Congress with his reasons for the veto. If Congress overrides the veto with a two-third majority vote, the bill becomes law.
