By Robert Longley. A presidential veto is the rejection of a bill passed by the majority votes of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. While Congress can vote to override a presidential veto, causing the bill to become law without the president's approval, this is rarely done. More often than not, the threat of presidential veto is sufficient motivation for Congress to modify the bill prior to its final passage.
But with the constitution stating that the President shall act in accordance with the advice of council of misters, in practice there remains no case for an absolute or pocket veto if the bill has support of the government. Only in cases when the President feels that the government is unstable he may opt to do nothing (pocket veto).
