Bush&#8217;s use of executive power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He also ultimately believed that he would be able to get the legislative process moving. It took him a long time to realize that is not the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Obama&#8217;s low veto tally could also be a sign of his political success. <\/p>\n<p>For most of Obama&#8217;s time in the Oval Office Democrats had a strangle hold on Congress. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Obama&#8217;s first two years in office, his party had big majorities in the House and Senate,&#8221; said Kyle Kondik of the University of Virginia&#8217;s Centre for Politics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given how ideologically similar Obama and congressional Democrats are, Congress generally wasn&#8217;t going to pass something through both houses that was not also supported by the president.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even until last November Obama had the buffer of a Democrat-controlled Senate, which prevented Republican-backed bills from landing on the Resolute desk.<\/p>\n<p>Minority lawmakers&#8217; willingness to use procedural rules to stall legislation may also have helped Obama avoid executive action, according to Sarah Binder of the Brookings Institution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I suspect that the minority&#8217;s increased willingness to filibuster majority party priorities in the Senate also limits the frequency of veto bait sent up to the White House,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>With Republicans now in control of both houses, Obama could yet emulate Bush, who vetoed 11 bills in his last two years following the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>But even if Obama embarks on a spree of orders and vetoes, he cannot come close to Franklin Roosevelt, a fellow Democrat, who used his veto 635 times and issued over 3,700 executive orders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, US, Feb 24 &#8211;
