The option that BEST describes the concept of a pocket veto is:
A. The president vetoes a bill by ignoring it until Congress dismisses.
A pocket veto occurs when the President does not sign a bill into law and does not formally veto it, effectively allowing the bill to die by inaction if Congress adjourns within ten days of submitting the bill.
