The President can use a pocket veto is when two conditions exist: Congress adjourns for more than ten days, and bill return to Congress is not possible. In recent years, presidents have used a controversial procedure called a "protective return" pocket veto, when presidents claim the right to pocket veto a bill, but then return it to Congress's legally designated agents.
