Presidents don't 'pass' any legislation. Congress passes the bills, the predisent then signs them into law.

BUT ... FDR signed the most because of the programs to stimulate the economy and provide some 'relief' for people during the depression.

Depending on your point of view even projects to build things could be considered social welfare because they provide jobs. Eisenhower signed the bill(s) for the interstate highway projects ... big jobs program.

How about Bush 2? All the deficit spending for 2 unfunded wars --- created social welfare thru trumped up lies about Iraq now Obama is carring on that tradition.

Is social welfare restricted to helping the poor? Regan, Clinton, and Bush 2 did a lot in their economic policies to create social welfare for the rich enabling them to cheat lie and steal from the middle and lower classes. Let's not forget Nixon removing the last vestiges of the gold standard creating the runaway inflation the the government lies about -- pretending that inflation is a low 1 or 2 percent when real inflation probably exceeds 5 percent.

In my opinion NO president is really helping anyone but the rich ... that is who financed getting them into office. The small amount of help to th lower class is nothing compared to what they do for the rich.
