It is often used in a political sense, for example, when a bill goes through the Senate and the House of Representatives it then goes to the presedent. The presendent can either sign(meaning it now becomes a law) or he can veto it(meaning through it out)

The Constitutional power of the president to send a bill back to Congress with reasons for rejecting it. A two-thirds vote from each house, however, can override the veto.

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.
