A pocket veto is not a direct veto of a bill. Rather, it occurs when the president holds onto a bill, unsigned, until after Congress adjourns.
You are probably thinking of the "pocket veto." Unlike the regular presidential veto, which can occur any time within ten days of legislation that congress passed, and can then potentially be overridden by congress, the pocket veto can only occur if the president fails to sign a bill after congress has adjourned and is thus unable to override that veto. Authority for the "pocket veto" comes from Article 1, section 7 of the Constitution, which says, "the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case, it shall not be law."
The Pocket Veto The Pocket Veto
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 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.
Article 1 Section 7 Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 provide for the Presidential veto. It also describes the pocket veto.
