Question

Suppose a bill arrives on the desk of the president of the United States. It originated in the Senate. He decides on a pocket veto. This will be possible for him only if A. The House still has the bill in committee B. The senate is in recess, but about to convene. C. Congress is about to adjourn. D. The House has not passed the Senate bill.

Answer 1

A pocket veto is only possible if "C. Congress is about to adjourn", since Congress must be out of session and therefore unable to take back the bill in order for such a veto to be possible.
