Exactly what happens depends on state law. In all states, if the legislature stays in session and the governor neither signs not vetoes a bill, it becomes law after a certain number of days. If the legislature adjourns before the governor has the allotted time to consider the bill, it may or may not become law, depending on the state. The related link gives the state by state details.

When the governor vetoes a bill after the legislature has adjourned, and transmits the vetoed bill to the secretary of state for delivery to the legislature at its next session pursuant to the constitution, and the legislature next meets in a special session, the legislature may choose to act on overriding the veto during the special session.

When the president vetoes a bill, he sends it back to Congress and they vote if the bill should become a law. If the vote is 2/3 "yes" the bill becomes a law.
