A veto is the constitutional procedure by which the President (or chief legislator of a state) refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution, and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President returns the legislation to the originating House without approval. It can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in each House.
A pocket veto occurs when the President (or state governor) puts aside a bill and doesn't sign it for 10 days, and the Congress adjourns during that time. Since Congress has adjourned, it is unable to override this action and must begin the entire legislative process again.
From 1996-1998, the President, like many state governors, had the right to choose to disapprove only particular items of a bill without having to disapprove the entire bill, which is called a line-item veto. It was declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1998, and the President no longer has the power of the line-item veto, thought state governors continue to have the right.

He can veto a bill and he can "pocket veto" one. A pocket veto is when he does nothing and it sits on his desk for 10 days. At that point it is a veto. This is handy because the law maybe popular but he doesn't want to veto it, so he does nothing either way. In the last several years a third way has been used and that is a signing statement. The President signs the bill into law, but then signs a statement that it shouldn't be enforced. Bush did this with about 800 laws. I don't know if Obama has done any signing statements. This really got going under Clinton who did several hundred in his 8 years.

What is the difference in the effects between a pocket veto and a normal veto registered by the president?
With a "regular" veto, the president prevents it from becoming a law by withholding his signature and returning it to Congress; with a pocket veto he also withholds his signature, but does so when Congress has adjourned and has not designated a legal agent to receive veto or other messages (as at the end of a two-year congress). This is a pocket veto, and the bill dies after 10 days of being submitted to the president. A pocket veto applies only when the Congress is not in session.

You are probably thinking of the "pocket veto."

Authority for the "pocket veto" comes from Article 1, section 7 of the Constitution, which says, "the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case, it shall not be law."
