the constitution limits the president's period for decision on whether to sign or return any legislation to ten days (not including sundays) while the united states congress is in session. a return veto happens when the president sends a bill, along with his objections, back to the house of congress from which it originated. congress can override the veto by a two-thirds vote of both chambers, whereupon the bill becomes law. if congress prevents the bill's return by being adjourned during the 10-day period, and the president does not sign the bill, a "pocket veto" occurs and the bill does not become law. congress can adjourn and designate an agent to receive veto messages and other communications so that a pocket veto cannot happen, an action congresses have routinely taken for decades. if a bill is pocket vetoed while congress is out of session, the only way for congress to circumvent the pocket veto is to reintroduce the legislation as a new bill, pass it through both chambers, and present it to the president again for signature. on the other hand, congress may override a regular veto without introducing new legislation through the process described in the u.s. constitution. james madison became the first president to use the pocket veto in 1812.

although the new intellectual property legislation was a complete rewrite from scratch and was structured quite differently than the previous 1993 copyright act, there were actually only minor changes in substance concerning copyright proper in the new legislation. with the exception of the implementation act discussed below, most changes were clarifications of omissions or of disputed points in the 1993 law. among the true novelties introduced by the new legislation in the area of copyrights were a publication right (a copyright granted to the publisher of a previously unpublished, uncopyrighted work with a period of 25 years from the publication), and the definition of two kinds of contracts: one for copyright transfers, and licenses for granting usage rights. newly, "gratis" licences were explicitly allowed (article 1235). a subtle change concerned the calculation of the copyright term for posthumously published works, which began newly from the "disclosure" instead of from the "publication". (see above for the difference.) for a work that was disclosed during the author's lifetime, the copyright term of 70 years thus runs from the year the author died (or was rehabilitated, if the rehabilitation was posthumous), even if the work is published only later. the new legislation also no longer contained a provision for a ""domaine publique payant"" as the 1993 copyright act did in its article 28(3).
