When Congress adjourns it means they are out of session and done with business. Congress session lasts for one year with there being two sessions. Any bill that has not gone through the entire legislative process before Congress adjourns is considered dead.
Adjourn-means that the meeting is postpone and hold off, put off.
The bill is not passed, called a veto. However, Congress can overrule the veto with a 2/3'rds vote.. I'm a little shaky on the ratio so you might want to check something else.
