The president may refuse to act upon or sign a bill for which he or she is opposed. if congress passes a bill and sends it to the president within 10 days of the end of a congressional session and the president does not act on the bill, then the bill does not become law. this procedure is known as _________________.

Respuesta :

This is the pocket veto. It allows the President to take a stand on a bill by simply doing nothing and letting it die of inactivity. This also forces Congress to pass bills more quickly, because running out of time (or getting close to the end of the yearly calendar) can lead to a President having this option on the table.
