Description

Gregory C. Harness & Zoe Davis (ed.); Jeri Thompson (foreword). This volume, compiled by the U.S. Senate Library, provides histories for those Presidential vetoes occurring during the 101st Congress through the 106th Congress (Jan. 3, 1989-Jan. 20, 2000). During this period, Pres. William J. Clinton vetoed 37 bills, of which 36 were regular vetoes, with one pocket veto & two vetoes overridden; & Pres. George W. Bush vetoed 44 bills, of which 29 were regular vetoes & 15 were pocket vetoes, with one veto overridden. This comprehensive list of the Presidential vetoes of legislation enacted by the Congress is also an aid in the study of the relationship between the executive & legislative branches of the U.S. Government & of its system of checks & balances.
