The last person to issue zero vetoes during their entire presidency was James Garfield in the 1880s.
Context
An investing approach nicknamed ESG (environmental, social, and governance) has gained popularity in recent years, primarily on the left.
The approach seeks to incorporate non-monetary factors when deciding whether to invest in a corporation, such as a company’s greenhouse gas emissions and contributions to climate change, the ratio of the top executive’s pay to the median employee, or the percentage of women serving on the Board of Directors.
In November 2020, the Trump administration’s Labor Department finalized a rule making it harder for financial advisers and managers to incorporate ESG considerations when running a client’s 401(k) or retirement account. The rule was officially titled “Financial Factors in Selecting Plan Investments.”

A joint resolution is often used in the same manner as a bill. If passed by both the House and Senate in identical form and signed by the President, it becomes a law. Joint resolutions are also used to propose amendments to the Constitution.
Resolutions numbers restart every two years. That means there are other resolutions with the number S.J.Res. 8. This is the one from the 118th Congress.
