because they can
The president can call Congress into a special session. This occurs when the president believes urgent legislative action is needed outside of the regular session schedule. Special sessions can address specific issues or crises and are typically convened at the discretion of the president.
With a "regular" veto, the president prevents it from becoming a law by withholding his signature and returning it to Congress; with a pocket veto he also withholds his signature, but does so when Congress has adjourned and has not designated a legal agent to receive veto or other messages (as at the end of a two-year congress). This is a pocket veto, and the bill dies after 10 days of being submitted to the president. A pocket veto applies only when the Congress is not in session.
The president ask congress to hold a special session when the two houses cannot agree on a date to adjourn or in an emergency situation.
When the president rejects a bill by leaving it on his desk until after Congress has ended session, it is called a pocket veto.
The Constitution gives the president the power to prorogue a session of Congress if the two houses can not agree on a date. This is found in Article 2 of the Constitution.
When an unscheduled session is called by the President it is called a special session. Special sessions may be convened to address special topics, or emergencies such as war or natural disaster.
Wyomeshchandra Banerji was the president of 1st session of the congress in mumbai in 1885.
The president has the power to prorogue a session of congress. This can happen only if two houses cannot agree on a date for adjournment.
Such would be a special session or perhaps a called session of Congress.
The President is supposed to recommend to Congress what new legislation he/she believes is needed, and after the House and Senate pass a bill, it is up to the President to either sign (accept) it or veto (reject) it. However, Congress is not obligated to follow the President's recommendations, and if the President fails to sign or veto a bill within ten days of receiving it (excluding Sundays), it automatically becomes a law if Congress is still in session at that time, and it automatically dies if Congress has adjourned by then. Congress can also override a President's veto with the support of two thirds of both Houses.
This was the only session in which Mahatma Gandhi was the President
According to Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I of the U.S. Constitution, the President has 11 or 12 days (10 days not counting Sundays) in which to either sign or veto a bill from the time when it is presented to him/her. If the President takes no action on the bill before the deadline and Congress is still in session, the bill becomes law anyway. However, if the President takes no action and Congress had adjourned in the meantime and is not in session, the bill is automatically vetoed. That is known as a pocket veto.
No- Congressmen do not have to attend. In fact, it is not unusual for opponents of the president to miss these session as a protest.
When a president ignores a law for 10 days, it is referred to as a "pocket veto." This occurs when the president does not sign a bill into law within 10 days while Congress is adjourned, effectively preventing the bill from becoming law without an official veto. If Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law if not signed within that timeframe.
yes. they can.

This is a pocket veto, and the bill dies after 10 days of being submitted to the president. A pocket veto applies only when the Congress is not in session.
Once Congress has passed a bill, the President has 10 days to sign it, and it becomes law, or veto it, and send it back to Congress.If the President does not sign or veto the bill in 10 days, it becomes law without the Presidents signature, if Congress is in session. If the President does not sign or veto it in 10 days, and Congress is NOT in session, it is vetoed, called a pocket veto.
