<P> The phrase presidential veto does not appear in the United States Constitution , but Article I requires every bill , order , resolution or other act of legislation by the Congress of the United States to be presented to the President of the United States for their approval . When the President is presented the bill , they can either sign it into law , return the bill to the originating house of Congress with their objections to the bill ( a veto ) , or neither sign nor return it to Congress after having been presented the bill for ten days exempting Sundays ( if Congress is still in session , the bill becomes a law ; otherwise , the bill does not become a law and is considered a pocket veto ) . The list below contains many of the bills vetoed and pocket vetoed by Presidents . </P>
