When a law is not signed by the president or the governor within a specified timeframe, it can become law without their signature, depending on the jurisdiction. In the U.S. federal system, if the president does not sign a bill within ten days while Congress is in session, it automatically becomes law. However, if Congress adjourns during that period and the president does not sign, the bill is effectively vetoed through a procedure known as a "pocket veto." In state legislatures, the rules may vary, but similar principles generally apply.

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.
