Abdiel Foster · Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The pocket veto is the one resulting from the President's inaction.

It's a legislative maneuver that allows a president to refuse a law by taking no action (instead of affirmatively vetoing it).

It occurs when the president does not sign the bill and cannot return the bill to Congress within a 10-day period because Congress is adjourned and unable to override a veto.
