Can a pocket veto occur when congress is not in session?
The pocket veto is provided for in Article 1, Section 7, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which outlines the conditions for its use. It states: "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law." This means that if the President fails to return the bill that Congress has sent to him within ten days and Congress adjourns during those ten days, and has not designated a legal agent to receive veto messages, the bill will not become a law if the president fails to sign it. Congress adjourns periodically throughout the year, including summer and winter breaks. Some recent presidents have claimed the right to use the pocket veto any time Congress is not in session, but the prevailing practice, supported by court rulings, says that presidents should use the regular or return veto as long as Congress has designated an office to receive such messages, which it has routinely done for decades, just as the Office of White House Clerk is designated by the president to receive enrolled legislation when the president is away. Thus, the pocket veto need only be used at the end of a two-year congress.
