In the past, the so-called Bully Pulpit was created by President Theodore Roosevelt. He believed that the power of the presidency can be made to persuade voters, industries and Congress by publicly speaking out on changes Teddy Roosevelt believed should be made. Presidents since T. Roosevelt have used this technique from time to time.
President Theodore Roosevelt vetoed eighty-two bills, of which forty-two were regular vetoes and forty were pocket vetoes. One was overridden (Item No.932). There were no vetoes in the first and second sessions of the Fifty-eighth Congress.
I just read a new book that states the Roosevelt couldn't get support to help the Jews of Europe to leave. The author makes a petty good case that he tried and Congress wouldn't listen or do anything. Imagine how many people would have been saved if he had.
