I had to search in Wikipedia for the this term, it says:

"A *pocket veto* is a legislative maneuver that allows a president
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President> or other official with veto
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veto> power to exercise that power over a
bill by taking no action (instead of affirmatively vetoing it)."


I translated to Spanish to understand better, but I see no correlation as
we officially  don't have officials with veto power".

Are you sure you were referring to this?

I'll look into it, but I suspect that the 4 "abstains" should have been a 3.
