There are 2 scenarios for if Trump doesn't sign it.
1)Becomes law without signature (Congress in session): If the President does not sign or veto the bill within 10 days (excluding Sundays) of it being presented to him, it automatically becomes law, provided that Congress is still in session at that time.
2)Does not become law (Pocket Veto): If Congress adjourns its session before the 10-day period expires and the President has not signed the bill, it does not become law. This action is known as a pocket veto, and it cannot be overridden by Congress.

Veto it? He might and with the same vote, that veto will be over ridden. He's not getting to skip his tine in the barrel

And then they put right back up and there is no more veto exposure. Pocket veto is a delaying tactic a President uses ..

True, but it's a horrible look and will add to the undermining of Trump's standing among all but his core.

They may claim it, but there is no investigation active on it right now. Congress wants it released and passed a bill.

All they have to do is repeat their vote. all 100 Senators vote for the release, more than 2/3s the House. Veto proof.

So if he doesn't sign it will it become law anyway? Or will that be a pocket veto and it stops the bill?
