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.
