President Joe Biden waited two years into his term in office to issue his first presidential veto, but he is concluding his term with the most vetoes since former President Bill Clinton.
Days before Christmas, the White House announced that Biden had vetoed the JUDGES Act, a bill that would have allowed President-elect Donald Trump and future presidents to expand the federal judiciary.
The move marked his 13th veto since March 2023. Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush finished their respective terms with 12 vetoes, while Trump concluded his first term with 10.
Here are the 13 bills Biden has vetoed since stepping foot in the White House.
