A Pocket Veto can only take place after Congress adjourns at the end of a session, not during a Recess. Not signing it does not veto it. It would be an incredibly stupid move but it is NOT a veto.

Thanks. I did not know that. I wonder what the negatives here on FR will say when it is signed, funds are appropriated and the fence is built?
