In the constitution Poland or the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 17th and 18th centuries, there was an institution called the liberum veto.

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.

Returning the unsigned bill to Congress constitutes a veto. If the Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds vote in each house, it becomes law without the President's signature.

The president approves or rejects a bill in its entirety; he is not permitted to veto specific provisions.

If the bill is again adopted by an absolute majority of the members of both houses, the President must sign the bill without objection.

If Congress adjourns before the ten days have passed during which the President might have signed the bill, then the bill fails to become law.
