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)

4. The total number of vetoes tabulated is 2,576. This figure is 1 less than the numbered presidential vetoes because of the Grant disputed pocket veto (see footnote 3).
