Summary of Bills Vetoed, 1789-present

Additional information about veto power and procedure can be found on the Vetoes page.

1. Attempted intra-session pocket vetoes on H.R.1 (101st Congress) and S.333 (101st Congress) were disputed. Both bills were enacted into law so are not counted on this table.

2. H.R.4042 (98th Congress) is counted as a pocket veto.

3. A pocket veto on H.R.4476 (44th Congress) is not counted on this table because, "...It was not placed before the President for signature." (H.Doc. 493, 70th Congress, p.24)
