Waddy ruled Wednesday the veto was improper pocket because it frustrated Congress' constitutional right to attempt to pverride the veto. The Constitution gives a President 10 days to sign or veto a bill after he gets it from Congress. If the period runs out while Congress is adjourned and the President has not signed the bill, it fails to become law on a pocket veto. The period on the doctor bill ran out while Congress was recessed during Christmas, 1970. noted the veto The court occurred while Congress was in a brief recess but had not adjourned its session. "...The short recess of the Senate in this case, extending only two days beyond the period... did not prevent the return of the bill to the Senate in which it originated," the judge ruled. "It follows therefore that the pocket veto was invalid." The case was taken to court by Sen. Kdward M. Kennedy, who argued that the pocket veto was improper under y y circumstances because Congress reconvened soon after Christmas and would have had a chance to consider Nixon's action if he had used the regular veto. The bill authorized a three-yea$223 million program to help train family doctors through grants to medical schools and hospitals.
