Once the President receives a bill from Congress there are several things which can happen. If he agrees with it, he can sign it into law. If he agrees with parts of it but not others, he can veto it and send it back with recommendations for changes. He can sign a bill, but express his opinion if he feels that the bill intrudes on his ability to use his executive power. He can also issue a pocket veto, by taking no action at all within the ten days during which a bill must either be passed or vetoed.
