Second link is to the 35 bills and joint resolutions that Congress has sent to the President for signature.
22 were signed into law.
8 were vetoed.
5 are pending Presidential action.
All 8 vetoes were in regards to Congressional Joint Resolutions of disapproval.
By far the least productive Congress in modern history. Obviously, difficult to legislate when you canât even pick a Speaker. Not looking much better for the second session. I seriously doubt the present Speaker will last much longer and the Republican majority is dwindling.
The chart at the first link says it all.
