Presidential Veto Trivia

Here’s an interesting bit of trivia that popped up at DailyKos :

Hard to believe, but Bush has yet to wield the veto during his presidency. Time to see if he has the cojones to use it. It would be an admission of failure and weakness, considering he has control over the entire governmental apparatus.

Wow. Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton had 78, 44, and 38 vetoes respectively during their presidencies. Even Gerald Ford (the only other unelected president) had 66 during his 2 and a half years in office. Since Bush has been in office for at least a couple months longer than Ford, that he would have used it at least once by now. Jeez, this has the be the most chickenshit congress ever…
