List of Presidential Vetoes
The Senate Library maintains a list of all bills vetoed by presidents over
time. This list is published from time to time. The source for the information
presented on this page was published in two documents, Presidential Vetoes,
1789 - 1988 and Presidential Vetoes, 1989 - 2000. This list
presented here is reproduced from pages viii and ix in the latter publication,
printed in October 2001. The figures for George W. Bush, then, are based on
published reports and are not official.
The reports are available in PDF format online:
