Notes:
1 Percentage following election. Partisan divisions naturally change in the middle of a session due to mid-term vacancies.
2 Veto success rate only includes regular vetoes. "Pocket Vetoes" can only occur after a session of Congress has adjourned and can not be overridden by Congress.
3 For the purposes of calculating the Democratic share of the Senate in the 111th Congress the APP includes the two independent Senators (Lieberman-CT and Sanders-VT) since they caucus with the Democrats.
