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.
