Final answer:

The option not a way that representatives can vote is 'Sign it,' as signing a bill or issuing a 'Pocket veto' are actions taken by the President, not methods of voting within the House of Representatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked which of the choices is not a way that representatives in the House of Representatives can vote. The options mentioned were Division, Viva Voce, Sign it, and Pocket veto.

The House of Representatives has several ways to vote on legislation. 'Division' is a method where members stand to be counted for or against a proposal, 'Viva Voce' is a voice vote where members shout 'aye' or 'no,' and a 'Recorded Vote' is where members' votes are officially recorded. However, the options 'Sign it' and 'Pocket veto' are not methods of voting for the House of Representatives. Instead, the power to sign a bill into law or issue a veto or pocket veto lies with the President after legislation has passed both the House and the Senate. In this context, 'Sign it' and 'Pocket veto' are related to the President's actions, not the voting methods of House members.
