An automatic veto of a bill that occurs if the president or governor neither signs nor vetoes a bill within ten days of receiving it — as long as the legislature adjourns during that period. If the legislature convenes during that period, the bill will automatically become law. A pocket veto cannot be overridden by the legislature, though the bill can be reintroduced at the next legislative session.

Easy! Schedule votes in such a way that important bills get voted on more than 10 days before and adjournment. There are tons of bills that have stacked up from the House this session. If we get a senate majority, the House could pass these same bills again quickly at the beginning of the session. The senate could then pass these bills quickly if we adopt the same rules adopted by the senate Democrats this session.
