What does article 1 section 7 say about voting of represenatives on a bill?
Article 1, Section 7 says that all bills that would raise revenue must begin in the House of Representatives, but that the Senate can propose amendments to revenue bills as well as agreeing or disagreeing with the bills. Article 1, Section 7 also deals with the presidential veto. All bills must go before the president and he must either sign it, or send it back for revisions. If the president signs it, the bill goes into law. If he doesn't sign it and ten days pass (Sundays aren't included), the bill will become law. The only exception to this is if the Congress adjourns before the ten days pass, which prevents bills from becoming law unless signed by the president. If a bill is sent back to Congress for revision, it can become law without the president's signature if both houses of Congress vote yes on it with a 2/3 vote. The last thing that Article 1, Section 7 says is that all bills must go before the president to be signed. The only exception is bills that would adjourn Congress.

When would a president be most likely to veto legislation?
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.
