Indirect presidential vetoes refers to the practice of a president indirectly vetoing a bill by not signing it and sending it back to Congress within the ten-day window prescribed by the Constitution. This practice is also known as a "pocket veto" and is one of several ways a president can block legislation from becoming law. Some synonyms for indirect presidential vetoes include passive veto, silent veto, and pocket veto. Regardless of the term used, the outcome is the same - a bill fails to become law due to the president's actions or inactions. This power is one of several ways the president can exert control over the legislative process.
