I'm familiar with pocket vetoes. They're provided for in the Constitution and I don't see a problem here.

but still a slap in the face of the legislative process.
Why? The Prexy doesn't want to take the heat for a direct veto. OK. Accuse him of cowardice. But Congress knoes full well he can do this.

There's only 13 Appropriations Bills per year; everything else is a supplemental.
Actually, where's this 13 come from? I thought there was a bill for the federal budget, then wish lists for special interests and congresscritters.

No criticisms implied in the above questions; just fishing for info.

Are you familiar with these?
