Of the 2,594 vetoes on file, 344 drew an override vote in at least one chamber and 108 succeeded; an override needs two thirds of both. A pocket veto, made while Congress was adjourned, cannot be overridden and is dated by the adjournment. A row with no override tag is one Congress did not take up. Vetoes before 2001 are from the Senate Library's record, where a few bill numbers are not legible.
