Question

What happens to a bill when it is given to the President and the President does not act on the bill within ten days? Include an answer for when Congress is in session and when Congress is adjourned.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If this occurs, the bill becomes law over the President's objections. A pocket veto occurs when Congress adjourns during the ten-day period. The president cannot return the bill to Congress. The president's decision not to sign the legislation is a pocket veto and Congress does not have the opportunity to override.
