Question 9 • FL-2106020-M/J Civics Advanced Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Which of the following BEST describes the concept of a pocket veto?

Answer
A
The president vetoes a bill by ignoring it until Congress dismisses.
B
The president vetoes a bill by tearing it apart in front of Congress.
C
The president vetoes a bill by folding the bill and putting it in his pocket.
D
The president vetoes a bill by giving it to the secretary of state, who promptly disposes of the bill.

Explanation

A pocket veto occurs when the president does not sign a bill within 10 days (excluding Sundays) and Congress adjourns in a way that prevents the bill from being returned. The bill then fails to become law. Choice A is the best description; the other choices describe actions that are not part of the constitutional process.
