PREFACE 

The purpose of this publication is to provide a comprehensive listing of the Presidential vetoes of legislation enacted 

by the Congress from the First through the One Hundredth 

Congresses, 1789-1988. It is also intended as an aid in the 

study of the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of the United States Government and of its 

system of checks and balances. 

The veto power is established by the Constitution of the 

United States of America: 

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve 

he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who 

shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds 

of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, 

together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it 

shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds 

of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases 

the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and 

Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against 

the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. 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. 

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence 

of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of adjournment^ shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the 

Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being 

disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the 

Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules 

and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill. 

(Article I, Section 7, clauses 2 and 3) 
iv Presidential Vetoes 

For the purposes of this publication, the term “regular veto” 

is used to indicate the action of the President when he disap 

proves a bill or joint resolution and returns it with his objec- tions to the chamber in which it originated. A “pocket veto” is the designation applied to a bill or joint resolution that 

failed to become law at the expiration of ten days because 

the President withheld his signature and the Congress had 

adjourned during that period in a manner to prevent its 

return. 

The exercise of the President’s pocket veto authority during 

intra-session adjournments and recess periods has long been 

a controversial issue between the legislative and executive 

branches of government. In the Pocket Veto Case, 279 U.S. 

655 (1929) (Item No. 1039, the Supreme Court held that the 

President might utilize the pocket veto power during either 

intra-session adjournments of the House and Senate during 

the same Congress or adjournments between sessions. However, in Wright v. US., 302 U.S. 583 (1938) (Item No. 12751, 

the Court modified this ruling in deciding that a recess 

within the same Congress by one House, with the other 

House remaining in session, would not “prevent” the President from returning a vetued bill if prior arrangements for 

the receipt of the measure had been made with the House 

that went out of session. In Kennedy v. Sampson, 364 

FSupp. 1075 (D.D.C. 1973) (Item No. 22621, the US. District 

Court interpreted the pocket veto clause of the Constitution 

as having two purposes: to provide the President with adequate time to review a bill presented to him and, second, to 

give Congress sufficient opportunity to review the Chief Executive’s objections and to override them if so desired. The 

court further held that intra-session adjournments within 

the same Congress do not prevent the return of a disap- proved bill to Congress, providing, as in the Wright decision, 

that appropriate provision has been made for receipt of the 

vetoed legislation. The Court of Appeals in 1974 unanimously affirmed that decision (511 F.2d 430 (1974)). In 1987 the 

cme of Burke v. Barnes, 479 U.S. 361 (1987) (Item No. 24141, 

the Supreme Court declared the issue moot because the legis- lation in question had no effect after September 30, 1984. A 

1981 pocket veto (Item No. 2394) is still pending before 

United States District Court for the Southern District of 

New York. The court actions involving the inte~retation of 

pocket veto power are item numbers 1058, 1275, 2262, 2293, 

2307,2394 and 2414. 

The primary sources for this compilation were the Journal of the House of Representatives and the Journal of the Senate, 

the Congressional Record, Weekly Compilation of Presidential 

Documents, and LEGIS, the Senate legislative information data base. Two other valuable reference sources also utilized 

were “Veto Messages of the Presidents of the United States” 

(Senate Miscellaneous Document No. 53, 49th Congress, 2d 

session) and “Report on Pocket Veto” (House Document No. 

493, 70th Congress, 2% session). Comprehensive studies of the 

Presidential veto power, including its historical background, 

are contained in Charles J. Zinn’s “The Veto Power of the 
Presidential Vetoes V 

President.” Other useful sources include Edward C. 

Mason’s “The Veto Power,” and Congressional Quarterly’s 

Guide to Congress.3 

This publication has been issued in several earlier editions, 

the first of which appeared in 1935. The 1992 edition represents a revision and updating of the most recent supplement 

which was published in 1985, and supersedes all previous 

editions. Every veto was thoroughly researched to assure accuracy; they are arranged chronologically by the administrations in which the vetoes occurred and by Congresses within 

the administration. Changes in the format of the information 

were made in an effort to improve both the clarity and the 

consistency of the data. Each veto has been assigned an item 

number to facilitate locating any desired veto. References in 

the index, which has been completely revised, are to these 

item numbers. Finally, a numerical summary of the bills 

vetoed by each President is presented in Table 1 on page ix: 

This tabulation includes the number of regular vetoes and 

pocket vetoes of all measures sent to the President for signature during each administration; it also presents the number 

of vetoes overridden. 

The current revision of Presidential Vetoes was prepared by 

members of the United States Senate Library under the direction of Roger K. Haley, Librarian. Particular mention 

must be made of the considerable contribution of Gregory C. 

Harness, Head Reference Librarian, to this edition of Presidential Vetoes; his meticulous review of all entries for accuracy of fact and his complete revision of the index have significantly improved the value of the compilation.

Item No. 2414 is counted as a pocket veto. 

The total number of vetoes tabulated is 2469, this figure does not correspond to the 

total number of veto entries in the text which is 2470, because a Grant pocket veto is 

uncounted in the table on the grounds that the bill was not placed before the 

President for signature. (See Item No. 182.)

Note-President Ford vetoed five bills during the October 17 to November 18, 1974 adjournment period. These bills were H.R. 6624 (Itern No. 22991, H.R. 7768 

(Item No. 23001, H.R. 11541 (Item No. 23023, H.R. 

13342 (Item No. 23061, and H.R. 14225 (Item No. 

2307). The bills were returned to the Clerk of the 

House with a message claiming that they had been 

pocket vetoed. Despite the pocket veto claim, Congress considered them to be regular vetoes and they 

are listed here and in accompanying tables as such. 

The veto of H.R. 14225 (Item No. 2307) was overridden by both chambers, but the Administration failed 

to promulgate it as law. Senator Edward Kennedy amended a pending pocket veto claim (Item No. 2293) 

to include H.R. 14225. The court held in Kennedy v. 

Jones (412 F.Supp. 353 (D.D.C. 1976)) that pocket vetoes could not be used except after adjournment sine die unless Congress failed to appoint individuals 

to receive messages. This decision reaffirmed Kennedy v. Sampson (Item No. 2262). The provisions of H.R. 

14225 were identical to H.R. 17503 which became 

Public Law 93-516 (88 Stat. 1617). Therefore, H.R. 

14225 was not assigned a public law number.

Note-This veto was the subject of Barnes v. Carmen 

(582 F. Supp. 163 (D.D.C. 1984:). The district court 

upheld the President’s veto citing the Supreme 

Court’s Pocket Veto Case (Item No. 1068). This ruling 

was overturned upon appeal in Barnes v. KIine (759 

F.2d 21 (D.C. Cir. 1985)). Since Congress had appointed officials to receive messages, the court concluded 

that the use of the pocket veto was ~nc~nstitutional. 

Upon appeal, the Supreme Court ruled that the issue 

was moot since the provisions of WR. 4042 had no 

effect after Sept. 30, 1984 (Burke v. Barnes, 479 U.S. 

361 (1978)). The bill was neither signed, nor returned,
