The president of the US can return a bill, unsigned, to Congress with a statement of his objections. 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.
