Your terminology is not quite correct. Congress does not veto a veto, it overrides a veto. And the reason for doing so would be that the members of Congress are determined to have their way. If they can muster enough votes, they have the power to put through their legislation, with or without the approval of the President.
No it cannot
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.
It is called a "pocket veto". Essentially meaning the President put it in his pocket and ignored it.
Alexander Hamilton's take on the power of the Executive Branch of the United States.

veto
Congress cannot veto a law. Any law must be written and passed by Congress in the first place. The president can then veto it. Congress can override the veto with a 2/3 majority. After a law is passed, the Supreme Court can strike it down if they declare the law unconstitutional.
They can put the measure to a second vote to try and "override" the veto. If they succeed, the measure passes and becomes law, the presidents will or not. If they fail, the measure is dead - end of measure.
In the United States, the President has 10 days in which to consider legislation. He can sign it, veto it, or do nothing.If he signs it, it becomes law.If he formally vetoes it, it goes back to Congress, which can attempt to override the vetoIf he keeps the bill for 10 days without signing it, it becomes law without his signature except that if Congress has adjourned in that period, and bill return is not possible (Congress normally designates agents to receive veto and other messages, making bill return possible when Congress is not in session, except at the end of a two-year congress), he can just put it "in his pocket" and therefore veto the bill. This method of killing legislation is called the pocket veto, and became an issue because no definition of "adjournment" was placed in the Constitution.
