Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Pocket Veto Case (also known as Bands of the State of Washington v. United States and Okanogan, Methow, San Poelis, Nespelem, Colville, and Lake Indian Tribes v. US) 279 U. S. 655 (1929) was a 1929 United States Supreme Court decision which interpreted the Constitutional provisions regarding the pocket veto. According to Article One of the United States Constitution, a bill that the President has not signed and not vetoed becomes law ten days after being sent to the President (not including Sundays). There is one exception to this: "unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law." The action of the President allowing a bill to expire without signing it after the adjournment of Congress is known as a pocket veto. The pocket veto had been used by United States presidents starting with James Madison.
