Supreme Court rules pocket veto kills late Muscle Shoals bill
The Supreme Court holds that a pocket veto can effectively kill legislation sent to the president near session end even if Congress is not in its final session. The Muscle Shoals bill, pocket vetoed at the first session of the last Congress, is treated as dead if adjournment prevents return within ten days. The decision defines adjournment to include intersession gaps and bars returning a veto to an individual in either house.
