Amend the Constitution​

The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:


1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Pocket Veto Amendment”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

2 - Reasons
(1) As it currently stands the President has the power to simply not respond as to whether to give assent or not, leaving bills in limbo where they haven’t been vetoed but they haven’t been enacted.

3 - Change
(1) “Once the Congress passes the bill, it is then sent to the President for their approval.” is changed to “Once the Congress passes the bill, it is then sent to the President for their approval. If 72 hours pass after the bill is presented to the President or Acting President for assent, the bill automatically receives assent unless vetoed before the 72 hours have passed.”
