The 'pocket veto' only works if Congress is within 10 days of adjourning.
A pocket veto will be possible for the president only if Congress adjourns before the president has ten days to sign or veto the bill. If Congress adjourns during this period, the bill does not become law and is effectively vetoed.
The president can keep the bill "in his pocket" until it is too late to be dealt with in the current legislative session. If he vetoes it instead, Congress can override it and make it into law without introducing new legislation.
A "pocket veto" is only possible if1) Congress is about to adjourn, and2) bill return is not possible.This presupposes circumstances where Congress has adjourned, but bill return is possible. For many decades, presidents have returned vetoed bills to Congress when it had adjourned. This is allowable because Congress designates legal agents to receive veto messages and other communications. The practice was upheld by the Supreme Court in the 1938 case of Wright v. U.S. The President has 10 days to return a bill to the Congress as vetoed. Once Congress has adjourned, some presidents have argued, the bill can be considered unable to be returned for action.The President's use of this tactic has never been fully tested. The legal confusion is caused by the wording in the Constitution, which does not specify the length or type of adjournment to which this applies.
