Recess. There are two types of recess. One is used routinely to recess for a period of time, usually over the summer or winter break. Congress then reconvenes once that break is over. Congress can also be recalled or reconvened during times of emergency. A Sine Die Recess occurs every two years when the congress has ended. That congress is recessed permanently and will not reconvene until the new members of congress are sworn in. After a Congress recesses Sine Die, all pending legislation on the calendar is disposed of and the calendar is cleared. Any legislation that has not been considered by that time, must begin the process all over again.
What is a regular veto?
A veto is the constitutional procedure by which the President (or chief legislator of a state) refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution, and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President returns the legislation to the originating House without approval. It can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in each House. A pocket veto occurs when the President (or state governor) puts aside a bill and doesn't sign it for 10 days, and the Congress adjourns during that time. Since Congress has adjourned, it is unable to override this action and must begin the entire legislative process again. From 1996-1998, the President, like many state governors, had the right to choose to disapprove only particular items of a bill without having to disapprove the entire bill, which is called a line-item veto. It was declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1998, and the President no longer has the power of the line-item veto, thought state governors continue to have the right. == ==
