Sometimes a pocket veto isn't a veto though!  See:

In the case of a so-called pocket veto, sometimes used for political
reasons, a bill fails to become law when the president does not sign it and
the Congress happens to adjourn within a ten-day period after its
submission to the chief executive. On the other hand, if Congress remains
in session and does not receive the unsigned bill from the president within
that time, the measure becomes law.



 Hmmmm,

Civics.  Something for Challenger age kids and I'm not talking Honda's!  LOL  
Do they still teach that in Schools these days or do they just have a vote on
it?  I'm just asking because the pages don't line up and everyone is confused
about it. (new merit coming? Probably not) any who.
