When a bill is sent to the president to be ratified, the president can choose to sign it into law, reject it by veto (sending it back to Congress, which may attempt to override the veto by 2/3 vote of both houses), or neither sign nor veto, in which case it will become law after 10 days (not including Sundays) without his signature. There is one circumstance where a president withholding signature results in killing the bill, and this is the pocket veto. A pocket veto may only be used when two circumstances exist: when Congress has adjourned, and when that adjournment prevents return of the bill by the president to Congress. In the modern era, these circumstances arise at the end of a two year congress.
