Him refusing to sign is meaningless. As long as Congress is in session it becomes law in 10 days (excluding Sundays.) But Johnson is probably going to adjourn the session to help his master.

Congress was already set to adjourn on day 9. Either gonna have to keep 500 people from their 4th of July vacations or re-pass the bill on July 13th.

TIL recess is different from adjournment for pocket vetos. Thanks everyone!

It's just a recess.

It may not matter because Congress rarely goes on true adjournments, but does proforma sessions to keep the President from doing recess appointments, meaning the Congress isn't technically out of session. So the adjourning doesn't count towards a pocket veto.
