Veto Threats as a Policy Tool
One of the most powerful tools of the president in the policy‐making process is the veto. Although presidents can veto legislation at will, the use of the veto is costly as it can be perceived as a sign of weakness.

This article explores the conditions under which presidents are likely to use veto threats. The authors po…

We suggest that members who receive clear signals from constituents, interest groups, and policy leaders will announce their positions earlier. Those with conflicting signals will se…
