How does a pocket veto differ from a regular veto in terms of presidential powers?
A pocket veto occurs when Congress adjourns within ten days of submitting a bill to the president, who simply lets it die by neither signing nor vetoing it.
Pocket vetoes require public announcement; regular vetoes do not.
A pocket veto allows a president to refuse legislation without congressional override.
Pocket vetoes are subject to Congressional override, unlike regular vetoes.
