What happens if they pass the bill and Bush doesn't sign it but doesn't veto it either? Does it still become law?

I believe your question depends on whether congress is in or out of session. I may have this back asswords but I think if congress is in session and he doesn't sign it, it becomes law after a certain amount of time (10 days? ) and if congress is not in session and he doesn't sign it, it is essentially a pocket veto.

If President Bush neither signs nor vetoes it, the bill becomes law within 10 days of arriving on his desk.
