Pocket Veto
Many times
Once Congress has passed a bill, the President has 10 days to sign it, and it becomes law, or veto it, and send it back to Congress.If the President does not sign or veto the bill in 10 days, it becomes law without the Presidents signature, if Congress is in session. If the President does not sign or veto it in 10 days, and Congress is NOT in session, it is vetoed, called a pocket veto.

not congress
Only the president can call congress into special session. Only 26 special sessions have been held,the last one was in 1948. The president can call congress or each of its houses. The senate has been called into special session 46 occasions last was 1933.
That bill has been "pocket-vetoed."
The votes are counted in a joint session of Congress led by the President of the Senate, who is the U.S. Vice President, on January 6th following an election. After the votes are counted and any objections have been dealt with, the Vice President announces the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential elections.
The State of the Union speech or address is what they call this constitutionally mandated report to Congress. The report may be written or oral and does not have to be given every year, but modern presidents have been giving it annually in person to a joint session of Congress in January.
Yes, the President has the power to call Congress back into session after they have voted to adjourn in order to consider some pressing matter. He can also call just the Senate back to consider a treaty of appointment he makes. This power is granted under Article II, Section 3, clause 2. The constitution says that the president can convene congress under extraordinary circumstances for as long as he sees fit. Special sessions were called fairly often before the Senate and House began meeting for most of the year, but has only occurred four times since the 20th Amendment was ratified. The 20th Amendment calls for the first session of Congress to begin on January 3 each year. In recent years, the Senate and House have been authorized to call their own special sessions after Congress adjourns.
Speciation
Only 26 special sessions of Congress have ever been held. President Harry Truman called the most recent one in 1948, to consider anti-inflation and welfare measures in the aftermath of WWII.
Well it can mean: - Your account session ( how long you have been playing runescape ) - An in-game minigame session.
