If the president is incapacitated who becomes the president?

The vice president can serve as the president in this case. Amendment 25 specifies procedures to be followed if the president says he is unable to serve and voluntarily yields his power and if he does not think he is incapacitated and how he can get his power back if he recovers his capacities.


Does the 10-day veto window start on a bill when it is cleared for the White House or presented to the President?

It begins after the bill is presented to the President to sign it. Article 1, Section 7, Clause 2. If the time began on the day when it is cleared, meaning passed by both Houses of Congress and readied to be presented, Congress could hold it back for a few if not all the ten days and make it harder if not impossible for the president to veto it. A bill that is not vetoed within the ten day period becomes law after the ten days if the president does not sign it, unless Congress adjourns in that time and makes it impossible for the president to send the bill with his objection back to Congress.


After a bill is introduced into congress where does it go?

If both houses of Congress agree on a bill, it is sent to the President. The President can then can do one of three things: 1. sign and make it a law 2. veto it which means to send it back to Congress with his objection. 3. Just hold it. If he does this , it automatically becomes a law after 10 days unless Congress adjourns before the days are up. Otherwise, it dies as if it had been vetoed.


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

How does a bill become a law in both houses of congress?

If both houses of Congress pass the bill, it is sent to the President. If the president signs it, is becomes the law.

How a bill becomes a law in the US?

Someone proposes a bill. Then a committee looks it over to determine if it should become a law. Then the committee votes to send it to the floor. It has to pass both the Senate and the House. Then it is sent to the President. If the President signs, it becomes a law. If not, it is sent back to Congress. If a 3/4 vote approves, it becomes a law even if the President refused to sign it.
