Biden poised to veto JUDGES Act to end term with most vetoes since Clinton

Published December 16, 2024 2:56pm ET



President Joe Biden is prepared to veto legislation that would create new federal judgeships for President-elect Donald Trump to fill, a move that would give him the most presidential vetoes since Bill Clinton.

Biden has already vetoed 12 bills during his term in office, the same number former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush each logged during their time in the White House. Trump issued 10 vetoes during his first term and would likely pass Biden during his second. Meanwhile, Clinton vetoed 37 pieces of legislation during his presidency.
