FOREWORD
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 approves he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objec-
tions to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objec-
tions at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Recon-
sideration 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 Adjourn-
ment) 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. The
Constitution of the United States of America, Article I, Section 7, clauses 2 & 3.
Despite the fact that the word "veto" does not appear in the
above section nor elsewhere in the Constitution, it is almost impossible
to overestimate its importance in our republican form of government.
As James Bryce points out in "The American Commonwealth" (new
ed., 1910, vol. 1, p. 225):
The strength of Congress consists in the right to pass statutes; the strength
of the President in his right to veto them.
For the purposes of this publication, the term "veto" is used to
indicate the action of the President when he disapproves of a bill or
joint resolution, with his objections thereto, and returns it to the
house in which it originated. A pocket veto is a bill that failed without
the President's signature to become law at the expiration of 10 days
because the Congress adjourned during that period.
If the originating body does not take action or fails to override the
veto, no action can be taken by the other body. However, if the veto
is overridden by the originating body, the proceedings of the other
body to which the veto is then sent must be examined for final dis-
position of the legislation. When both bodies override the veto, the
bill becomes law without the signature of the President.
Further information with regard to subsequent action on each vetoed
bill may be found in the proceedings of the body in which the bill was
originally introduced as published in the Annals of Congress (1st Cong.,
1st sess., through 18th Cong., 1st sess., 1789-1824), Register of De-
bates (18th Cong., 2d sess., through 25th Cong., 1st sess., 1824-1837),
Congressional Globe (23d Cong., 1st sess., through 42d Cong., 3d
sess., 1833-1873), Congressional Record (43d Cong., 1st sess., through
(III)
IV
90th Cong., 2d sess., 1873 to 1968) and in the journals of the Senate
and House of Representatives.
This record of the Presidential vetoes of legislation enacted by the
Congress is intended as an aid in the study of the relationship existing
between the executive and legislative branches of government, includ-
ing our system of checks and balances. The material contained herein
is arranged chronologically by Congresses and the administrations in
