Best Answer

Near the end of a session. If Congress adjourns before a 10 day period elapses, the President may employ what is called a pocket veto, and simply ignore the bill. It does not become law, and Congress does not get the chance to override his veto. It must pass the law again in the next session to have that opportunity.

Presidents veto bills when they believe the bill is contrary to their political position. They are more likely to make a veto they think will stand up. Sometimes they say in advance they will veto certain bills so they pretty much have to make the veto if it passed against their warning.
