Answer:

The President lets the proposed bill sit on the desk until the bill dies

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically when Congress proposes a bill, the President has 10 days to sign it for it to be in effect. If the President waits it out without signing the bill for the 10 days and Congress is no longer in session, the bill cannot be passed.
