He can veto the bill by returning it unsigned to the house of Congress where the bill originated. He must provide a written explanation of his objections to the bill. This must be done while Congress is in session and it must be done within ten days (excluding Sundays) of receiving the bill . Congress can override the veto by passing it with a 2/3 majority.

∙ 13y agoAfter the long and difficult process of a bill going through congress, the bill is sent to the president. He can do 2 things if he does not like it. He can veto it, in which it goes back to congress and they decide if they want to override his veto or not. If they do not decide to override the veto, the bill dies, if they do decide to override it, then the bill becomes a law. The second thing is if congress sends him a bill he can do nothing. If the bill sits on his desk for 10 days, and congress is NOT in session for just 1 of those days, the bill is pocket vetoed, and the bill is killed.

What type of law is passed after congress gives the president a bill and he doesn't sign the bill within ten days and congress stays in session?
Any type of law can be passed this way. However, bills passed this way are usually formalities like recognition of National Apple Week or something like that. if a bill is important, he will probably sign it with a signing ceremony if he likes it and if he does not like it, he probably would veto it- -send it back to Congress with his objections.

What can congress do to the presidents?
The president can veto any bill passed by Congress. This stops a divided Congress since a 2/3 majority is required to pass the bill over the veto. The president can fail to enforce laws that he does not like. Congress can fight back with impeachment or censure but there are usually serious political costs to such actions, so Congress often does nothing. The president can also use a "carrot and stick" approach to influence individual Congress members.

Can the president veto or rewrite laws that congress passed?
No- after a law has been passed, the President can not do anything to change it. He can sometimes get away with ordering the justice department not to enforce a law he does not like as the current president does with parts of the immigration laws and the defense of marriage act. The president can veto a proposed law (bill) and send it back to Congress to either pass it over his veto via a 2/3 majority or else re-work it into a bill he will sign.
