This formula does not apply to a "pocket veto." A pocket veto can be executed at or near the end of a session of Congress, if a bill is presented for signing with fewer than ten days left before recess. If the President chooses to ignore the bill, it is automatically vetoed. The only remedy for a pocket veto is reintroducing the bill in the next session of Congress.
