flag Trump vetoed two bipartisan bills in his second term: one to complete a Colorado water pipeline, the other to expand a Florida tribal reservation.

flag Trump issued the first vetoes of his second term, rejecting two bipartisan bills that passed Congress with voice votes. flag The first, the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, aimed to complete a water pipeline in southeastern Colorado, but Trump cited excessive costs and delays, calling it wasteful spending. flag Colorado’s Democratic senators condemned the veto as politically motivated, with Sen. Michael Bennet calling it a “revenge tour.” The second veto blocked the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act, which would expand tribal land in Florida’s Everglades, with Trump claiming the tribe sought to obstruct immigration policies. flag Both vetoes require a two-thirds majority in each chamber to override, a difficult threshold. flag Trump vetoed 10 bills in his first term, with only one overturned.
