how long does he have to sign it ?
is he going to do it in public like he does so many things and holds up his signature ?

(24,284 posts)If a president fails to return a bill in 10 days without signing it, the bill becomes law. Sunday is excluded when counting the 10 days, and the 10-day period has to take place while Congress is in session

There won't be a pocket veto, the Senate won't be going into recess.

I keep thinking all of the White House circus is designed to take all eyes off of the fact that Trump has yet to sign the sanctions bill.
