The correct answer is: It dies unless Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds majority in each house.

Explanation:

When the president vetoes a bill Congress has to analyze his arguments. If Congress doesn't agree to them it can override the president's veto by a two-thirds majority both in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The first option is wrong because the Court analyzes a bill only when it's called to do it.

The third option is wrong because if it was like this the veto would be useless; the veto forces the Congress to analyze the president's arguments against the bill.

The fourth option is wrong because there is no obligatory time before the bill is voted.
