Answer:

pocket veto

Step-by-step explanation:

A return veto happens when the president sends a bill, along with his objections, back to the house of Congress from which it originated. If Congress prevents the bill's return by being adjourned during the 10-day period, and the president does not sign the bill, a "pocket veto" occurs and the bill does not become law.
