What is the difference in the effects between a pocket veto and a normal veto registered by the president?
With a "regular" veto, the president prevents it from becoming a law by withholding his signature and returning it to Congress; with a pocket veto he also withholds his signature, but does so when Congress has adjourned and has not designated a legal agent to receive veto or other messages (as at the end of a two-year congress). This is a pocket veto, and the bill dies after 10 days of being submitted to the president. A pocket veto applies only when the Congress is not in session.

How can a president override a congress bill?
He cannot. The president can veto the bill, returning it to Congress without his signature. Congress can override the President's veto by a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate. If the Congress overrides the President's veto, it becomes law even if he doesn't like it. If the President refuses to enforce the law, he is violating his Constitutional oath to ensure that the laws will be faithfully executed, which would be an impeachable offense. Congress could then "fire" the President by removing him from office.

A normal veto is a written one issued by the president, who lists his or her reasons for vetoing it and sends it back to Congress. Most bills die after being vetoed.

If he does not sign it and Congress is no longer in session, the bill dies without a formal veto.

The President can use a "pocket veto", if a bill comes to the White House to be signed close to the time Congress is due to conclude their current session. If it isn't signed by the time they get out of session, the bill will die unpassed, unless carefully worded otherwise. This is sometimes used with unpopular bills, or ones the President does not want to be seen to reject or support.
