President Trump issued two vetoes this week, the first two of his second term, rejecting a pair of bipartisan bills and drawing pushback from Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).
Trump vetoed legislation that aimed to complete a project that would deliver water to southeastern Colorado and another that would give the Miccosukee tribe the authority to manage part of the Florida Everglades.
Boebert protested the president's veto of the bill that would have bolstered the water project, called the Arkansas Valley Conduit, in her state.
