Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pocket veto occurs when the president does not sign a bill within 10 days and Congress has adjourned within that time. This means that the bill does not become law and cannot be overridden by Congress, unlike a regular veto where Congress can override with a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. The term "pocket veto" comes from the idea that the president "puts the bill in his pocket" and lets it expire without taking action.
