A president will very rarely use his power of veto. There is an average of 11 vetoes per year, but that covers the entire presidential history. Barack Obama has only vetoed two bills during his term as president.

∙ 12y agoSo far there have been 2564 vetoes in 222 years for an average of 11.5 per year.
Early presidents such as Jefferson did no veto anything. Franklin Roosevelt issued 636 vetoes in his 12 years; Cleveland 414 in 8 years and Obama 2 in two years, but expect more now that he has an opposing House.

How many new laws are passed in America every year by the president?
None. The President of the United States does not pass laws, that is the job of the legislative branch. The President has the ability to veto laws that the Congress has passed, but he can be over ruled by a 2/3rds majority. ---- Actually, it is the Presidential act of signing a bill passed by Congress that transforms that bill into law. It is emphatically the province of the President to pass laws and not Congress. What the Congress passes are bills, which have no legal authority unless passed by the President, or unless Congress over rules a Presidential veto with a 2/3 super majority vote. As to your original question, the number of laws passed in America probably varies year to year.
