http://www.c-span.org/guide/congress...ry/pktveto.htm Quote: Pocket Veto A Pocket Veto is when the President fails to sign a bill within the 10 days allowed by the Constitution. Congress must be in adjournment in order for a pocket veto to take effect. If Congress is in session and the president fails to sign the bill, it becomes law without his signature. more here: http://www.senate.gov/reference/glossary_term/pocket_veto.htm
Was there a point to this that I missed? http://clerk.house.gov/histHigh/Congressional_History/vetoes.html Here's some more info.... <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Presidential Vetoes (1789 to Present)[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Since 1789, the President has had the authority to veto legislation passed by Congress. This authority is one of the significant tools in the President's legislative dealings with Congress. It is effective in directly preventing the passage of legislation undesirable to the President, and the threat of a veto can bring about changes in the content of legislation long before the bill is ever presented to the President.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]There are two types of vetoes available to the President. The "regular veto" is a qualified negative veto, which is limited by the ability of Congress to muster the necessary two-thirds vote of each House for constitutional override. The other type of veto is a "pocket veto." This veto is actually an absolute veto that cannot be overridden; it becomes effective when the President fails to sign a bill after Congress has adjourned and is unable to override the veto.[/SIZE][/FONT] </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#e1e1d1></TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top> <TABLE borderColor=#666633 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=0 width="100%" summary="This table contains information on the total number of Presidential Vetoes from 1789-1999.
