If the GOP lose the House, it'll be W's fault. The House did great work on the border issue and stood up to the Senate.

Thats a good point. One Veto in 6 years has to be some kind of record. GHWB's signing of the ADA is what pushed me over the edge.. a vague law that became a goldmine for trial lawyers.

Not counting Garfield who died in short order, Millard Fillmore was the last president to issue so few vetoes and he issued zero. He only served out Taylor's term though.

For two-term presidents, you have to go back to James Monroe (5th, 1817-1825) who issued only one veto. Thomas Jefferson did not issue any vetoes so it's not an all-time record but in modern times, W's veto record is unprecedented.
