==Item Veto==
==Item Veto==
Authority to veto part rather than all of an [[appropriation|appropriations]] act. The President does not now have item-veto authority. He must sign or veto the entire appropriations act. The item veto sometimes is referred to as a line-item veto.<ref>[http://www.senate.gov/reference/glossary_term/item_veto.htm] US Senate Reference</ref>

==Pocket Veto==
The Constitution grants the President 10 days to review a measure passed by the Congress. If the President has not signed the bill after 10 days, it becomes law without his signature. However, if Congress adjourns during the 10-day period, the bill does not become law.<ref>[http://www.senate.gov/reference/glossary_term/pocket_veto.htm] US Senate Reference</ref>
