yes, if the president doesnt sign it after ten days, it becomes law.

This is called a veto.The president has ten days, not including Sundays, to decide whether to sign or veto a bill. If he takes no action, after ten days the bill automatically becomes law, whether the president signs it or not.However, if the president does not sign a bill and Congress adjourns before the ten day period is up, the bill does not become law. This is called a pocket veto.

The President can sign the bill into law, can veto it, or can leave it unsigned until it expires. (The latter is called a "pocket veto".)
If the President forgets to sign a bill within the ten day period fixed by the Constitution, it becomes law automatically as long as Congress is still in session by that date. If Congress is not in session by the tenth day and the President still hasn't signed the bill, the bill does not become law. This method of preventing a bill from becoming law without actually vetoing it is called the pocket veto.
What is it called when a bill becomes law if the President does not sign it nor veto it ,after so many days?
The president can convince congress to pass a bill, and the president can then sign the bill into a law.
veto it or pass it. 2nd Answer: Good answer, but the president can also simply not veto or sign it, but let it just sit there. Here's how it works: The President has 10 days, not counting Sundays to sign or veto a bill. If (s)he does neither and Congress is in session, the bill then passes just as if (s)he signed it. If (s)he does neither, and Congress is out of session, even if the President already has the bill, then the bill fails. This is called a 'pocket veto'. (Put the bill in your pocket and forget about it.)
