It was significant that the Pope declared it because he was pretty much the only person who had the ability to declare such a thing. Even though the kingdoms of Europe had different rulers, most kingdoms were based on the Catholic religion. Therefore, the Pope had influence.

If the president declines to either sign or veto it – that is, he does not act on it in any way – then it becomes law without his signature (except when Congress has adjourned under certain circumstances).
