Pocket veto
The President is the one that can use a pocket veto. This type of veto happens if Congress adjourns within the 10-day period the President has to pass or veto the bill.
A pocket veto is not a direct veto of a bill. Rather, it occurs when the president holds onto a bill, unsigned, until after Congress adjourns.
The two types of veto that can be carried out by the president are the "Pocket Veto" and the "Regular Veto." The Pocket Veto is where the president is given a bill, but fails to sign it within the ten days of the adjournment of Congress. The Pocket Veto is less common. The Regular Veto is one in which the president returns the bill back to Congress, with a message explaining his problems, reasons for return, and recommendations for revision. From there Congress may or may not fix it depending on it's actual importance.
That would be a 'Pocket' veto. The president/governor places it in the pocket and forgets about it.
A pocket veto is used when the president doesn't want to declare for or against a bill. he simply doesn't sign it and the bill expires. He doesn't really put it in his pocket but the name pocket veto came from folks talking about it and saying he might just put it in his pocket and forget it.
With a Veto or a Pocket Veto.
It is called a "pocket veto". Essentially meaning the President put it in his pocket and ignored it.
