UENNIS CONWAY 331 I^Vest Elm St. MeHenry 385-7111 r. k Fire and Casualty Company Home Office Bloomington, Illinois H' 4 price No part of the U.S. Con­ stitution is more abstruse than the, provision granting the President a "pocket veto." Of course, Section 7 of Article I contains neither the word "pocket" nor even* the word "veto."/ Under general passed becomes the Constitution's provisions, a bill by the Congress a law« when the President signs it, or ten days after it is presented to him -- even though he doesn't sign it. In case of a v^to, the President must return "a bill to the Congress "with his objections," and it can only become a law thereafter if both Houses of Congress, by two-thirds majorities, pass the bill over his veto. However - and this is the language creating the pocket veto -- "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law." The apparent purpose of this language was to require a president to sign bills while the Congress was still in session -- and it is quite likely that the "pocket veto" provision was intended to apply only to final (sine die) adjournments where the President had no op­ portunity to sign --or return a bill with his objections - because the Congress had gone home. But beginning in 1867, President Andrew Johnson "pocket vetoed" a bill during a temporary adjournment of Congress. President Franklin Roosevelt pocket vetoed a bill in 1944 during a twelve-day adjournment. Presidents Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson and Nixon also have used the "pocket veto" during brief adjournments of the Congress -- giving no opportunity to "override" by a two-thirds vote. ^ » Now, a measure pending McCLORY REPORTS F r o m - . W a s h i n g t o n before the House Judiciary committee woul' declare that the Constitutional language referring to "adjournment" means "final - or sine die" adjournment" -- and nothing less. In objecting to the pending measure, the Attorney General contends that only the Supreme court can interpret the Con­ stitution - not the Congress. In recognizing the/^right to exercise a pocket veto during other than final adjournments, court has already Pocket Veto Case - decided in 1929. Accordingly, it would seem that in order to give a different meaning to this language of the Constitution - it would be necessary to adopt a con­ stitutional amendment - a procedure that would require a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress and ratification by three fourths (38) of the States. However, other remedies are available. If a president uses the pocket veto, the Congress on reconvening could re-pass the identical measure. Then, if the. president should veto ihe measure, his veto could be overridden by a two-thirds majority of both Houses. The issue is particularly sensitive at this time because, during a njne-day "ad­ journment" in December, President Nixon,-used • the Y'pocket veto'-' to nullify two bills which the Congress had passed. The sponsors of those bilis had no chance to override the pocket vetoes. Also, the new' Congress has been less than anxious to re-enact the same bills. Thus, the pocket veto becomes a complex con­ stitutional issue which, indeed, the United States Supreme court will, probably h&ve to decide.
