Strange facts

Washington Post - Of the presidential vetoes issued since Washington's, a majority have been to veto legislation coming out of a Congress allied with the president.That's not what you'd expect, but that's what data from the American Presidency Project indicates. It breaks out vetoes by Congress, comparing composition of the House and the Senate to the party of the president... A little over 500 vetoes have been of legislation that came from a House and Senate hostile to the president. More than 1,200 have been of legislation from friendly Congresses.
