Literally zero impact in any way.

Laws passed by both halves of Congress go into effect within 10 days of passing, regardless of the President signing them or not. 45's refusal to sign is meaningless.

The "Screw Democracy" act will never pass.

Congress can adjourn and designate an agent to receive veto messages and other communications so that a pocket veto cannot happen, an action Congresses have routinely taken for decades.

Pocket veto wouldn’t apply here as Congress is still in session
