What four options does the president have after getting a proposed law from congress?
The president has four options: sign the bill, which makes it law; VETO the bill and return it to Congress; refuse to take any action, in which case, after ten days, the bill becomes law without the president's signature; or, if less than ten days are left in the congressional term, "pocket veto" the bill by not signing it (because Congress has no time to take up the bill, the pocket veto kills the bill).

What three choices does the President have when a signed bill reaches his desk?
There are actually four options: 1. Sign the bill into law. 2. Allow the bill to become law without his signature. If the President does not sign the bill or veto it within ten days, the bill becomes law without his signature. 3. Veto the bill. The President vetoes a bill by announcing he will not sign the bill and sending it back to Congress. Usually the President's veto message indicates his objection to the bill. A veto can be overridden with a two-thirds majority vote of each House of Congress. If the veto is overridden, the bill becomes law without the President's signature. If the two-thirds vote is not reached in both Houses, the bill dies. Congress can modify the vetoed bill and send back a new bill to the President for his signature. 4. Pocket veto. If there are fewer than ten days left in the legislative session before adjournment, the President can kill a bill simply by letting the legislative calendar expire without actually vetoing it. This allows the President the option of not having the bill overridden since Congress will be out of session. This procedure is called a pocket veto.
After a bill has been sent to the president it becomes a law if he does not send it back?
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

What options does the president have when he gets a bill from congress to sign?
The President can one of three things1. Sign the bill2. Veto the bill3. Do nothing with the bill.Option 3 has two possible effects, depending on whether Congress stays in session for 10 days after sending the bill to the President. If they remain in session, the bill becomes law without the President's signature but if they adjourn before 10 days, the bill dies without the President's signature, just as if he had vetoed it. Such is called a pocket veto by the President.
