You are probably thinking of the "pocket veto." Unlike the regular presidential veto, which can occur any time within ten days of legislation that congress passed, and can then potentially be overridden by congress, the pocket veto can only occur if the president fails to sign a bill after congress has adjourned and is thus unable to override that 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."
