The reconstruction plan that was effectively killed by a pocket veto was the Congressional Reconstruction plan of 1867, specifically the Reconstruction Act of 1867. President Andrew Johnson, who opposed many aspects of the plan, did not sign it into law and instead allowed it to expire by taking no action within the 10-day window, effectively preventing its implementation. This act aimed to establish military governance in the South and ensure civil rights for freed slaves, but Johnson's inaction stymied these efforts. The pocket veto exemplified the ongoing conflict between Johnson and Congress over the direction of Reconstruction.

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.
