Can he use the pocket veto in this case?
He could, just like he could fire Sessions and make a quick recess appointment. But I think the pocket veto and recess appointments are dead, thanks to a little trick the Republicans thought up to prevent Obama from using them. They just keep a few members in DC and convene Congress for a few minutes every weekday, so it never officially recesses. Republican leaders already told Trump he can't pull the Sessions trick because they plan to do that. That will eliminate pocket vetos too.
