Andrew Jackson pocket vetoed seven bills during his two terms as president, and he vetoed five additional bills (these were regular or return vetoes). His first pocket veto was a bill "to authorize a subscription for stock on the part of the United States in the Louisville and Portland Canal Company." That pocket veto was in 1830. Jackson vetoed several bills to appropriate money that the treasury did not have and which violated Jackson's promise to balance the budget and pay the national debt.
