The political term for long-winded stalling on the congressional floor is "filibuster."

Filibusters are particularly prominent in the U.S. Senate, where they can be employed to influence the legislative agenda.

What can congress do if the president wants a bill passed and congress doesn't?
If Congress does not want to pass a bill that the president supports, there are several actions they can take. Congress can choose not to bring the bill to a vote, effectively killing it. They can also amend the bill to make it more acceptable to members of Congress or attach conditions to its passage. Ultimately, Congress holds the power of the purse and can choose not to fund or implement a bill even if it is signed into law by the president.
What happens when a president ignores a bill for 10 days when Congress is not in session?
You're thinking of what's become known as a "pocket veto." The answer is, it depends on what Congress does. If the President hangs onto the bill for ten days and Congress is *still in session* then the bill becomes law without his signature. If, on the other hand, Congress adjourns (closes down and goes home) before the ten-day mark, then the bill fails, as though the President had vetoed it. Also, Sundays don't count (so if the President gets a bill on a Friday, he has until the Wednesday after next to make up his mind).
