Here's a good source
LII U.S. Constitution Annotated LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT SECTION 7. Clauses 13. The Legislative Process THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
Approval by the President
The President is not restricted to signing a bill on a day when Congress is in session.493
He may sign within ten days (Sundays excepted) after the bill is presented to him, even if that period extends beyond the date of the final adjournment of Congress.494
His duty in case of approval of a measure is merely to sign it.
He need not write on the bill the word approved nor the date.
If no date appears on the face of the roll, the Court may ascertain the fact by resort to any source of information capable of furnishing a satisfactory answer.495
A bill becomes a law on the date of its approval by the President.496
When no time is fixed by the act it is effective from the date of its approval,497
which usually is taken to be the first moment of the day, fractions of a day being disregarded.498
