A "pocket veto" is a parliamentary move that permit a president or other official with "veto power" (power to reject a bill) to use that privilege on a bill by taking no action. (passive rejection).

In the United States, a "pocket veto" happens when the president does not endorse a bill, and gets wasted due Congress is not in session.
