According to Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I of the U.S. Constitution, the President has 11 or 12 days (10 days not counting Sundays) in which to either sign or veto a bill from the time when it is presented to him/her. If the President takes no action on the bill before the deadline and Congress is still in session, the bill becomes law anyway. However, if the President takes no action and Congress had adjourned in the meantime and is not in session, the bill is automatically vetoed. That is known as a pocket veto.

What happens when the president says no to a bill?
If a president says no to a bill, it's called a veto. Then after that, he has to send it to Congress which is the Judical Branch. Then Congress looks over the bill, and they can override the bill and it can still be passed.

What responsibility does the president have for the laws congress makes?
I will tell you the process for a bill to become a law. Citizens find a problem or a want and tells their representative. He then takes it to congress and they vote on it. If it passes, it goes to the president. That is called a bill. If it doesn't pass the whole thing is scraped. If the president doesn't like the bill it goes back to congress. They vote again and if so many people vote yes they over rule the president and it becomes a law. If they don't vote yes the whole bill is scraped. You can stop this early if the president says yes the first time around.
Who approves a bill before the president signs it?
A bill goes to the house of representatives (435 people), is the majority of them say yes then the bill moves onto the Senate (100 people). If the majority of the Senate says yes. (If there is a tie then the Vice President votes on the bill breaking the tie.)Then the bill goes to the President. If the President gets the law and never says anything for ten days the bill automatically becomes a 'pocket veto' and it can try this process of becoming a law again and again. If the President says no then the bill automatically becomes a 'veto' and can try the process of becoming a law as many times as it wants.BUT when a law become a veto it has the chance to 'override' the president (if over half of the House of Representatives say yes then it moves to the Senate- If over half of the senate say yes then the law can skip past the Presidents answer and it automatically becomes a law.)[BILL]-[SENATE]-[PRESIDENT]-[LAW]+(OVERRIDE)
Under which of the following circumstances is congress most likely to pass a bill the president has threatned to veto?

How does the bill become the law?
It's a bit more complicated than that. First, Congress must vote on it (majority wins) to pass it to the President. The President then must approve. If he vetoes the law, all is not still lost. Congress can override the veto by two-thirds vote. If they do, the bill becomes a law no matter what the president says.

Can a bill become law if the president vetoes the bill?
The bill "dies". 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.
