Who can veto a bill passed by congress?

The President of the United States has the authority to veto a bill passed by Congress. This power is outlined in the U.S. Constitution under Article 1, Section 7. If the President chooses to veto a bill, it can still become law if Congress overrides the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.


What is the difference in the effects between a pocket veto and a normal veto registered by 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.
