The bill is vetoed. However, the bill can still become a law if Congress overrides the veto with a 2/3 vote. If the president initially does nothing, no signature or veto, the bill automatically becomes law after 10 days, excluding Sundays, if Congress is still in session. If after 10 days Congress is NOT in session, then the bill dies. This is called a pocket veto.

They ask the president to sign it and if he dissagrees(or vetos it), they have to get a ceirtian precentage to have it passed. After they get the president to sign itso it can be passed, but if he vetos it than the congrass votes on if the bill should be passed or not. i think they have to get 3/4(voting twards the vote) to pass it.
