This is called a pocket veto. However, if Congress is in session and the President does not take action for 10 days, it becomes law.

What happens is a bill pass and the president doesn't sign the bill but holds it for more than 10 days?

After 10 days the bill becomes law even it is not signed, provided that Congress is still in session. However, if Congress adjourns before the 10 days are up, the bill is treated as if it were vetoed. They call this kind of veto a "pocket veto".

What role does the congress have in checking presidential abuse of power?

Congress has the right to approve or disapprove items in the president's budget request. The Senate has the right to approve or disapprove the president's appointments. Congress has the right to impeach and convict the President or Fire the President. Thus, congress has a lot of power. The founding fathers at the Constitutional Convention assumed that congress and not the President would take the leading role in the Federal Government. However, the inability of the politicians in Congress to work together made that original vision impossible. Thus, the president holds much of the power he holds by default. Just because Congress has not been able to get its act together for 220 years does not mean that will forever be the case.


What are president's options when he receives a bill from congress?

He can either sign it to make it a bill, veto it (that is send it back to Congress unsigned ,with his objections ) , or just hold it. If he just holds a bill and Congress stays in session, it becomes law without his signature in 10 days. If Congress adjourns in less than10 days after he gets it, it dies if he does not sign it. Such is called a pocket veto. If he vetoes it, Congress can override his veto with a 2/3 majority vote of both houses.
