Muscle Shoals Bill Remains Uncertain in Pocket-Veto Case
Washington December 22 The question whether President Hoover blocked or let the Muscle Shoals bill become law by pocket veto remains unresolved after a Justice Department memorandum to Congress. The 99 page document, dated October 10, notes no conclusions and outlines past cases of unsigned measures near adjournment. Parliamentarian Lewia Deschler says precedents largely support the view that a bill not signed within ten days of adjournment or between sessions fails to become law. Senator Norris argues non-signature would place the bill on the books, a point under review in a Supreme Court case.
