After a bill passes through committee, it is voted on by the two houses of Congress. If it passes both, it goes to the President. If/when the President signs the bill, it becomes law. "He signed ya bill, now you're a law" Schoolhouse Rock - America Rock - I'm Just A Bill

∙ 13y agoNo. Once a bill passes both houses of Congress, the bill then goes to the President, who may then (1) approve the bill by signing it; (2) return the bill to Congress with his objections (also known as 'veto'); or (3) hold on to the bill without signing it or returning it. If the President holds on to a bill without signing it, it becomes law automatically after ten days, unless Congress adjourns before the ten days are up, in which case the bill does not become a law. The latter course of action is also known as a 'pocket veto' and has occasionally been used by Presidents to kill objectionable bills without incurring the public-relations consequences of actually vetoing the bill. Further, use of the pocket veto is not subject to override like a regular veto.
