It is dead, just as if he had used the traditional veto.

There is one major difference. A bill that is pocket vetoed does not automatically go back to Congress for consideration of an override of the veto. Such a bill must be re-introduced as a new bill at the start of the next Congressional session. Then it gets treated as a new bill, meaning it canbe passed by simple majority, sent to the president for approval and vetoed (or not) in the usual fashion. Then it goes back to Congress for consideration of an override of the veto.

The two types of veto that can be carried out by the president are the "Pocket Veto" and the "Regular Veto." The Pocket Veto is where the president is given a bill, but fails to sign it within the ten days of the adjournment of Congress. The Pocket Veto is less common. The Regular Veto is one in which the president returns the bill back to Congress, with a message explaining his problems, reasons for return, and recommendations for revision. From there Congress may or may not fix it depending on it's actual importance.

What action is required of th president to stop a new bill?

Before a bill is passed, the President can state his objection to it. He can threaten to veto it if it is passed. If the vote for the bill is expected to be close, just the threat of a veto may kill it.Once a bill is passed by both houses of Congress, it is sent to the President. If he does not approve of it, he can veto it. This means he sends it back to the house in which originated with his objections. It will not become law unless 2/3 of the members of Congress approve it again. (The bill becomes law if he signs it or does nothing after he has had ten days to think about it. )There is a special situation, called the pocket veto, which can let the President block a law without any action. This occurs only if the Congress adjourns before the President has had the required ten days to study the bill and the President fails to sign it.

Why does the president use the threat of a veto?

Because Congress cannot override it. The Constitution provides that a President has ten days (Sundays excepted) in which to either sign or veto a bill. Otherwise, it becomes law without his signature "unless the adjournement of Congress prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law". This is to prevent Congress from evading the Presidential veto by passing a bill and than immediately adjourning, so that the President could not return the bill with a veto message. Accordingly, in the last ten days of a Congressional session, a a President may kill a bill without needing to veto it, simply by leaving it unsigned unil Congress adjourns. This is a "pocket veto".
