   cl. 2): ``If any bill shall not be returned by the President
   within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been
   presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as
   if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment
   prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law.''
