251. I'm gathering that you aren't DU's most foremost constitutional scholar
despite your use of all caps.

Do a little research. THere is ample precedent for pocket vetoes to be used during intrasession recesses of more than a few days. Plus, until we see exactly what the President says/does in connection with his refusal to sign, we won't know if he is claiming a pocket veto (which means the veto can't be overriden) or a regular veto (in which case it can). The line between these types of vetoes has been blurred in recent years.
