To: Ken H; Phantom Lord
I think the number was something like 4000, although that figure may represent both laws passed and new Federal regulations imposed by bureaucrat agencies.

Phantom Lord and I aren't talking about the regulations imposed by the various bureacratic agencies. Just the number of Bills passed by Congress and sent to the President for signing. It would be helpful for "completing" the table and aid in calculating what percentage of the bills are vetoed.

I suppose if one wanted to get fanatical about data, one could also include a column for all the bills that are introduced in Congress. But a lot of bills die in committee, or aren't passed, or don't make it to the President for some other reason.

But the number of bills that the President actually signs seems like a fairly simple, straightforward question.
