According to this article (Stem Cell Debate Wedges Bush Between a Rock and a Hard Place) Bush has signed 1,116 consecutive bills into law since becoming president.

Veto = a vote that blocks a decision; vote against; refuse to endorse; the power or right to prohibit or reject a proposed or intended act.
My guess is that he will.
