What is a method exercised by the president after congress has adjourned to prevent a bill from becoming law?
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."

Does the president have to explain why he vetoes a bill?
"veto" is not a legal term and the word does not appear in the Constitution. From the standpoint of logic, the President either vetoes a bill or he does not. However, if he does not veto a bill, he can either sign it or ignore it and it becomes a law in either case , unless Congress adjourns before he has had 10 days to consider the bill. In this latter case, known as the 'pocket veto', the bill is vetoed if he does not sign it.
