Vetoes of George W. Bush
From dKosopedia
President George W. Bush has used his veto power less frequently than any other president. For his first six years in office, both houses of Congress were controlled by rigidly idealogical members of his own party, who simply abdicated their independent oversight role, and did whatever the White House wanted them to.
