After President Clinton excised several Pentagon programs from the 1998 budget, both houses of Congress, under the line-item veto law, passed legislation restoring some of the programs (H.R. 2631). President Clinton subsequently vetoed that bill, and both houses of Congress passed legislation overriding his veto. Subsequently, the Supreme Court declared the line-item veto unconstitutional. a. On some occasions the President has issued a protective return veto, where the bill was returned, unsigned, while Congress was in an intermin adjournment. The President has considered the bills to have been pocket vetoed while Congress considered them to have been regular vetoed. Vital Statistics counts these as regular. b. The data for the 113th Congress only include the first session. Sources: "Resume of Congressional Activity," Congressional Record, 80th Congress - 113th Congress.

Note 2: Unanimous Consent and "No Vote" are not counted as attempts. Note 3: Two votes on the same bill was counted as two attempts. a. On November 3, 1993, one vote was taken to break filibusters on five separate presidential nominees. Vital Statistics counts this as five attempted cloture votes. b. The data for the 113th Congress only include the first session. Sources: "Indicators of congressional workload and activity," Congressional Research Service; US Senate website (
