What is another word for suspensory veto?
Pronunciation: [səspˈɛnsəɹˌi vˈiːtə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
Suspensory veto, also known as pocket veto, refers to the power of an executive to block a bill from becoming a law by simply refusing to sign it. Some synonyms for a suspensory veto include veto by inaction, indirect veto, and passive veto. It is called an indirect veto because the executive does not take affirmative action to veto the bill; rather, the veto occurs through a failure to act. Furthermore, the term passive veto implies a lack of activity or engagement on the part of the executive. Regardless of the specific term used, a suspensory veto can have significant implications on the ability of a proposed law to pass and become enacted.
