Yesterday, House speaker Paul Ryan announced that President Trump will veto any budget bill that does not contain funding for Trump\u2019s border wall.\u00a0\u00a0The end of the year and the current session of Congress being so near, this raises the delicious possibility of Trump\u2019s using a constitutional niche to kill the bill and bring the government into partial shutdown: the\u00a0pocket veto<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A pocket veto causes a bill to fail to become law, if the president does not sign the bill and cannot return the bill to Congress within a ten-day period after its passage through Congress, because the Congress is no longer in session.\u00a0\u00a0Article 1, Section 7 of the\u00a0Constitution\u00a0states: \u201cIf any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him [the president], the same shall be a Law, in like manner as if he had signed it,\u00a0unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a Law<\/em>\u201d\u00a0(emphasis provided).<\/em><\/p>\n

Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt were renowned for their use of pocket vetoes.\u00a0\u00a0The practice has gone out of fashion in modern times, as the Congress has adopted the practice of gaveling itself \u201cinto session\u201d for two minutes and then going back into recess, which starts the ten-day clock all over again.\u00a0\u00a0That won\u2019t happen after it adjourns for the year.<\/p>\n
