After a bill has been sent to the president it becomes a law if he does not send it back?
The bill doesn't become law unless the president signs it. When the president receives a bill from Congress he has two options 1) he may veto it; which is to essentially reject it or 2) he can sign it; it then becomes law. If a president ignores a bill that is passed by Congress for 10 days, it passes with or without his signature. There is an exception, the "pocket veto." If a president ignores a bill and Congress adjourns, the bill dies (as if he folded it up and stuck it in his pocket). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_veto
Why odes the president sometimes allow the 10 days he has to voice his objections on a bill to expire without doing anything?

Are there any differences in the effects of the presidential and pocket veto?
Yes! A presidential veto is when a bill is proposed to the president who then vetos the bill. This will be sent back to Congress and may be overriden by a 2/3 majority. However A pocket veto is when the president ignores a proposed bill and Congress adjourns. In this case, the bill dies.

What does the president do with a bill once he's vetoed it?

Why so long president to sign a bill?
The bill becomes what is called a pocket veto and is not enacted into law.
Can the President do anything about a bill that was passed because he forgot about it after ten days and does not want the bill to become law?
First of all, it is nearly impossible for the President or his staff to 'forget' about any piece of legeslation. After 10 days, defined by the Constitution, the President excersises a 'pocket veto.' This means, if the President does not sign by the 10th day, the bill is rejected by the Executive Branch and is sent back to congress. If both houses of congress have 2/3 of its members to vote for the bill, they can override the Presidents veto and make the bill a law without the approval of the President. In short, if the President ignores a bill for 10 days, he automatically vetos, and rejects the bill. Therefore, 'forgetting' about a bill, does not make it a law for him to worry about.
