The President can issue a pocket veto by not signing a law in the 10 day time period.
It then takes a vote of 2/3s of the House and Senate to override the veto.

I don't think the President actually signs a bill if he vetoes it, but it can become law after that if 2/3 of the Congress overturns the veto -- or, of course, if the Supreme Court does. But the bill does have to visit the president at least once.

Yes. Congress can override his veto by 2/3 majority or if they have 30 days left and he doesn't sign the bill within those 30 days - then the bill automatically becomes law.

only if he vetos it and there is a 2/3 majority vote to make it a law in the house.

Nope, the President must sign it for it to become a law.

Yes but it requires 75% passage in both houses
