Book excerpt: The Constitution provides that any bill not returned by the President "within ten Days (Sundays excepted)" shall become law, "unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law." This instrument of presidential power, known as the "pocket veto," was first used in 1812 by President James Madison. Unlike the regular veto, which is subject to a congressional override, a pocket veto is "absolute" because it is not returned to Congress. Beginning in 1929, several judicial decisions attempted to clarify when an adjournment by Congress would "prevent" the President from returning a veto. Several cases during the Nixon administration appeared to restrict the pocket veto to a final adjournment of Congress at the end of the second session, and that understanding was accepted by the Ford and Carter administrations. Under this political accommodation, Presidents would not use the pocket veto in the middle of a session (intrasession vetoes) or between the first and the second sessions (intersession vetoes). However, that agreement has not been followed by the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations. President Ronald Reagan issued a pocket veto late in 1981 and 1983 (at the end of the first sessions), and President George Bush also used intersession pocket vetoes late in 1989 and 1991. President Bill Clinton, in 2000, used three intrasession pocket vetoes. The pocket vetoes by Presidents Bush and Clinton were unusual in the sense that the vetoes were returned to Congress. Evidently the inter- and intrasession adjournments by Congress did not "prevent" the return of the vetoes. If the President returned these "pocket vetoes," could Congress attempt an override? The answer is that Congress several times has taken override votes on these types of pocket vetoes. Efforts to legislate the meaning of "adjournment" have thus far been unsuccessful, nor has there been any definitive judicial ruling to clarify the constitutional issue, although court rulings have established important parameters for the pocket veto. As a result, the scope of the pocket veto power has been left largely to practice and to political understandings developed by the executive and legislative branches.

Download or read book The Unusual Story of the Pocket Veto Case 1926 1929 written by Jonathan Lurie and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the US Constitution, if a bill is not returned to Congress by the president within ten days of receiving it and Congress has adjourned, the bill is effectively vetoed. The so-called pocket veto dates at least as far back as the presidency of James Madison (1808–1816), but the constitutionality of its use had not been considered by the Supreme Court until Okanogan Tribe et al. v. United States was decided in 1929, during the last year of Chief Justice Taft’s tenure. Despite responding to a situation in American Indian law, the Pocket Veto Case is notable for the fact that its final decision had nothing whatsoever to do with Indian law. The Okanogan Tribe is barely mentioned at all in the Court’s unanimous opinion, delivered by Justice Edward Sanford, which ultimately concluded that the pocket veto is a constitutional exercise of presidential authority. The Unusual Story of the Pocket Veto Case explores the underlying tension between congressional authority and the executive prerogative. Especially today, with such tension very much in evidence, it becomes all the more important to understand how and why the Constitution actually appears to encourage it. Studying Okanogan Tribe et al. v. United States and use of the pocket veto provides an excellent example of the tension between Congress and the president.

Download or read book The Presidential Veto written by Robert J. Spitzer and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1988-08-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first modern study of the veto. In addition to tracing the genesis and historical evolution from Ancient Rome, through the ultimate inclusion in the Constitution, it also explores the veto's consequences for modern presidents. In doing so, Spitzer promotes a key argument about the relation between the veto power and the Presidency — namely, that the rise of the veto power, beginning with the first Chief Executive, is symptomatic of the rise of the strong modern Presidency, and has in fact been a major tool of Presidency-building. A special and revealing irony of the veto power is seen in the finding that, despite its monarchical roots and anti-majoritarian nature, the veto has become a key vehicle for presidents to appeal directly to, and on behalf of, the people. Thus, the veto's utility for presidents arises not only as a power to use against Congress, but also as a symbolic, plebiscitary tool.
