Abstract:
|
As 33rd President of the United States, Harry Truman sought to extend the reach of Franklin Roosevelt's
New Deal Programs with his own domestic priorities, which he labed the Fair Deal. However, challenges
of being a succession president, the period in which he served as chief executive, and the nature
of the party system combined to block implementation of his objectives. President Truman's answer was
extensive application of the veto power. This study examines all facets of Truman's veto use, including
his approach to Congress; veto strategy; employment of regular public bill vetoes, private bill vetoes,
and pocket vetoes of public bills; and legislative reaction to his vetoes. The study taps original documents
from the Truman Presidential Library and quantitative methods to examine the topic. The findings
clearly substantiate the importance of the veto to President Truman's legislative success. |
