@jon-nyc don't know why you're addressing me (other than the generic "popcorn" comment).
I'm not a supporter of irrelevant amendments to bills to pass/remove existing policy.
If you don't like a policy/law, repeal it on a standalone basis.
This is petty politics at its
bestworst. C'mon, man! -
DON’T let them eat cake.

McConnell doesn't sound like he's going to defer to the President:
“We haven’t failed to pass the NDAA for 60 years,” the Kentucky Republican added. “If it comes over from the House, obviously I’m going to put it on the floor, and it’s my intention to vote for it.”

Congressional Republicans seem willing to let Trump’s veto stand, which would torpedo the defense appropriations bill.

It’s official, Trump vetoed it.
Trump says: “I am returning, without my approval, H.R. 6395 ... My Administration recognizes the importance of the Act to our national security. Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military's history, and contradicts efforts by my Administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions. It is a 'gift' to China and Russia.”

Who cares? It’s going to pass.

Trump just lost again.
“The Senate has overridden President Donald Trump's veto of the defense spending bill in a 81-13 vote on Friday, just four days after the House did the same, delivering Trump a stinging snub as his presidential term comes to a close.”

Interesting. I wonder what the respective story behind the presidencies with 100+ vetos was.

One of the main reasons why President Franklin Delano Roosevelt vetoed many bills during his tenure compared to other presidents is because during his time, the United States of America went through some of the most challenging events in history, that is the Economic Recession of 1929. This therefore called for bills addressing the plight of the people and the country so that adequate measures can to be put in place to protect the whole country. He vetoed a total of six hundred and thirty five bills.
By the time Franklin became the United States president, Pfiffner (21) has argued that the country was still recovering from the 1929 Great Depression that continued to persist until the United States went to war after the attack at the Pearl Harbor. He notes that the attack on Pearl Harbor made the United States of America participate in the World War II.
Therefore, in an attempt to rebuild the United States ailing economy, President Roosevelt initiated a New Deal Concept. This was meant to try and provide relief for all the members of the public and especially the employed ones from loosing such employment opportunities. He noted that, this deal was very complex because it involved other aspects of economy that were all intertwined.
In addition, Conley (20) argues that Roosevelt had established well informed advisors who would help him on when to veto a certain bill. He gave an instance in 1944 when Roosevelt vetoed the tax measures in the Senate. He has observed that Roosevelt vetoed the bill and termed it as a bill not meant to help the poor people but one meant to help the greedy in the society.
Another reason why Franklin Delano Roosevelt vetoed most of the bills was to make sure that the Congress was run by his fellow democrats. This is according to Karlyn (28), who has observed that Franklin Roosevelt had initiated a plan that would help the subsequent Congresses be controlled by the democrats. To make sure his intentions worked as planned, he says that Franklin Roosevelt vetoed most of the bills brought by the Republican members of the Congress for him to assent to.
According to Pfiffner (20), Franklin Delano Roosevelt has been the longest serving the United States of America president in history. He says that some of his predecessors and successors have been serving utmost a period of two terms. However, Franklin Roosevelt served for four terms, that is from 1935 to 1945, when he died while he had just begun his fourth term. As a result, Pfiffner (20) says that this is enough time for him to have vetoed such a huge number of bills.

@Klaus you also need to consider some presidents have Congresses entirely controlled by the opposite party. That’s likely to lead to more vetoes.
If the president has a chamber of Congress with him he can usually stop legislation he doesn’t like before it gets to his desk. Or get it in an acceptable form.
