The President

The document outlines the process by which a bill becomes law after being sent to the President for review. A bill will become law if signed by the President within 10 days of receiving it, or if Congress is in session and the President does not sign it. If Congress adjourns within 10 days and the bill is not signed, it does not become law. If the President vetoes the bill, it is sent back to Congress who can attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers.

The President

The bill is sent to the President for review.


1. A bill becomes law if signed by the President or if not signed within 10 days and
Congress is in session.
2. If Congress adjourns before the 10 days and the President has not signed the bill then it
does not become law ("Pocket Veto.")
3. If the President vetoes the bill it is sent back to Congress with a note listing his/her
reasons. The chamber that originated the legislation can attempt to override the veto by
a vote of two-thirds of those present. If the veto of the bill is overridden in both
chambers then it becomes law.
