The veto power is one of the most important aspects of checks and balances in the United States Government, as it helps the executive branch to check the legislative. A bill presented by Congress needs the signature of the President to become law, except when the Congress successfully overrides a veto with a 2/3 majority vote in both houses. This book provides important information about vetoes from the 1st session of the 2nd Congress under George Washington to the 1st session of the 105th Congress under Bill Clinton.
