The pocket veto is an absolute veto that cannot be overridden. The veto becomes effective when the President fails to sign a bill after Congress has adjourned and is unable to override the veto.
If it is vetoed by the president, it is sent back to the house in which it originated. In order to override the veto, it is much more difficult for congress. They need to obtain a two thirds majority in each house for the veto to be overridden. Because in more cases than not, the bill did not pass with this high of a majority, it is very difficult for the veto to be overridden. Until recently the average override was 1 of every 18 vetoes.
