Isn't it ironic that the socalled imperial president has never vetoed a single bill? Impish, more like.

Pres. Bush is certainly no Reagan. Of course Reagan had to deal with a Dem. HOR.

And none of the Republican Presidents ever had a Republican controlled congress.

Why would a Republican veto his own Party's spending bills?

Your chart is a little misleading, look at the date at the bottom.

Your veto stats in post 57 are useless.

Basically, if the prez and congress are held by the same party, the veto is used the least (kennedy, carter, bush)

When the control is split, that is when the veto is used most. It is as simple as that.
