Detailed explanation-1: -The power of the President to refuse to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevent its enactment into law is the veto. The president has ten days (excluding Sundays) to sign a bill passed by Congress.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the President vetoes the bill it is sent back to Congress with a note listing his/her reasons. The chamber that originated the legislation can attempt to override the veto by a vote of two-thirds of those present. If the veto of the bill is overridden in both chambers then it becomes law.
Detailed explanation-3: -: an indirect veto of a legislative bill by an executive through retention of the bill unsigned until after adjournment of the legislature.
Detailed explanation-4: -United States. Normally if a president does not sign a bill, it becomes law after ten days as if he had signed it. A pocket veto occurs when a bill fails to become law because the president does not sign it within the ten-day period and cannot return the bill to Congress because Congress is no longer in session.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of vetoes: the “regular veto” and the “pocket veto.”
