- He can sign it, making it a law.
- He can ignore it - do nothing with it . ( This action has two possible consequences. In most circumstances, the bill becomes law without his signature. However, if Congress adjourns before he had 10 days to study it, it dies without becoming law unless he signs. Such is called a pocket veto.)
- He can reject it and send it back to Congress with his objections to it. (called making a veto. Congress can make it law over his veto by passing it again with a 2/3 favorable vote in both houses of Congress. )
The president can:
Sign the bill within 10 days
Veto the bill
or Use a pocket veto.
The president can sign, veto or ignore a bill. If he signs the bill or if he ignores the bill, it becomes law. What he cannot do is change or amend the bill in any way. He can only use the "pocket veto" if congress adjourns before the prescribed ten days lapse.

The Veto is one of the key powers of the president of the United States. This power can be overridden if two thirds majority of Congress are able to vote to pass the legislation. There is a third option for the president when it comes to a bill, and that is to do nothing. If Congress is in session within 10 days after the president receives the bill it becomes law automatically. If Congress cannot or does not convene within those 10 days the bill dies and Congress cannot turn it over. This is the pocket veto.
Can a president veto a bill without sending it back to congress?
Only the President can veto the bill, but Congress can override a veto if 2/3 of the House and Senate vote for the override. Recall that it is the Congress that represents the Legislative Branch of government, and it is their job to make the law by writing a bill. The President, who heads the Executive Branch of government, has the option of signing the bill or giving it a veto.
Can the president veto a law repealed by congress?
Yes. In order to repeal a law, Congress must introduce new legislation which states that a previous law (Health Care Reform, Don't Ask Don't Tell) is repealed. Theoretically, if the Senate did pass a bill which repealed the Health Care Reform Act, then it's up to President Obama to veto the bill. This would place the veto subject to an override by a 2/3 super majority in each chamber of Congress. Currently, the House does not have to votes to over ride a Presidential veto.
Does the president of the US have the right to veto bills frequently?
NO- the President can not veto or change a law that has been passed. He can veto a proposed law, known as a bill, and send it back to Congress. They can still make it a law, but must pass it again with a 2/3 favorable vote to make it a law over the President's veto.
What are the 3 things the president can do if given a law?
sign it(approve), veto(reject) or ask senate to make slight changes to it I believe. The three things a president can do when given a prospective piece of legislation from congress is; sign it and it becomes law, veto it outright and it does not become law and the last thing is to do nothing. This is where it gets tricky. If congress is in session and a bill is given to the president he or she(I know but it could happen) has ten days to decide whether to sign or veto the bill, not counting Sundays. If the president does nothing and congress is in season it becomes law without any signature ten days later. If congress gives the president a bill and then adjourns or ends the active session or calls a recess a president can then just stick it in their pocket and the bill is essentially vetoed without any action taken. This last option is called a pocket veto.
Suppose a bill arrives on the desk of the president of US that originated in the Senate. A pocket veto is an option only if?
The president can keep the bill "in his pocket" until it is too late to be dealt with in the current legislative session. If he vetoes it instead, Congress can override it and make it into law without introducing new legislation.
