Bill becoming a law?

For a bill to become a law, it must first be proposed and then passed by both houses of the legislature, typically the House of Representatives and the Senate. After approval, the bill is sent to the executive branch, where the president or governor can sign it into law or veto it. If vetoed, the legislature can override the veto with a sufficient majority vote. Once signed, the bill is enacted and becomes part of the law.

If a president does not act on a bill within 10 days what happens?

If the Congress is still in session, the bill becomes a law after 10 days even if the President has not signed it or vetoed it. If the President vetoed the bill, Congress has to override the veto in order for it to become a law. If the President has not signed the bill within 10 days and the Congress is not in session, it does not become a law. This is called a "pocket veto."
