What actions can a president take when he receives a bill?
When a bill is passed by Congress and is presented to the President, he/she has ten days, not counting Sundays, to act on it. There are three things a President can do with a bill:
- The President can sign the bill, making it a law.
- The President can return it to the House of Congress where it originated with his/her objections to it. That is called a veto.
- The President can do nothing. If the President fails to act on a bill within the ten days allowed and Congress is still in session at the end of the ten days, the bill automatically becomes a law, as if the President had signed it. If Congress is no longer in session at the end of the ten days, the bill does not become law. That is known as a pocket veto.

What are Bill Clinton contributions to the world?
Giving the Chinese missile secrets. Like the ICBM.
I completely disagree with whoever made that outrageous assertion! There is no evidence whatsoever that President Clinton ever approved of giving the Chinese missile secrets! Unfortunately, there are still many Americans that refuse to give any credit to Clinton for all the wonderful things he achieved while in office and since! He ended a recession he inherited from George H.W. Bush in 1993, by raising taxes on the wealthy. That ushered in 6 years of incredible growth in the economy, including record surpluses and an end to deficit spending! In fact, when George W. Bush became President in 2001, he inherited a $137 Billion surplus which he promptly squandered on huge tax cuts to the wealth in 2001 & 2003, without paying for them!
Bill Clinton also dramatically decreased millions of people on welfare and back to work! He also reduced the size of the Federal Government for the first time in decades! He invested billion of dollars on expanding technology in the classrooms, including the internet and computers in the classrooms! He led the international fight in Bosnia and ended the war and atrocities committed by the Serbs! Unlike George Bush, who was despised by most of our allies, due to the unpopular Iraqi War, Bill Clinton enjoyed widespread popularity, especially in Europe and Africa!
Bill Clinton proved beyond a doubt, that Democrats are much better stewards of American taxpayer dollars than the GOP-He gave us record surpluses and we were on track to finally eradicate the national debt had he stayed in office, which of course, he couldn't! Since he left office, he founded the Bill Clinton Foundation, and has successfully raised billions to help millions of people around the world, including Aids and malaria relief! He led efforts to help those affected from the Asian tsunami and the earthquake in Haiti! What a wonderful humanitarian Bill Clinton has been in public life!!!
On December 21, 2000, President Clinton signed into law the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 which abrogated the Banking Act of 1933 (also known as the Glass-Steagall Act) and thereby laid the legal foundation for the financial debacle from which the US and the world is now struggling to recover.

How was the economy when Bill Clinton served as President?
During Bill Clinton's terms in office, the economy was fine. There were no major events occurring that directly involved the US and so President W Clinton was permitted the rare opportunity to get the nation 'in order.' Some writers (not historians, yet...it's still too early) have written that Clinton's terms were relatively quiet, which gave him the opportunity to consolidate previous president's economic initiatives and build a surplus in the US Government's budget.
