Signed and vetoed

Floor watchlist bills that reached a presidential signature or veto during this term, not every enrolled bill from Congress.gov.

No Floor watchlist bills signed or vetoed in this term yet.

On the Desk watchlist

No curated actions for this administration yet. The presidencies shelf is complete; the actions archive is still a seed. Browse Desk actions.

Term dates follow standard presidential succession chronology. Non-consecutive terms (Cleveland, Trump) appear as separate ordinals. Birthday and vice-president fields merge the unitedstates executive catalog (Bioguide when present). Library links come from NARA; Federal Register counts cover modern presidential documents only. Signed and vetoed credits come from The Floor watchlist by outcome date. Desk actions are editorial, not a full Federal Register dump.
