President Trump is not needed to sign a bill.

On this date, (click here) in the waning hours of the 28th Congress (1843–1845), the House joined the Senate to pass Congress’s first presidential veto override (over lame-duck President John Tyler’s veto of an appropriation bill). Introduced by Senator Jabez Huntington of Connecticut in January 1845, the original bill prohibited the President from authorizing the building of Revenue Marine Service (Coast Guard) ships without approved appropriations from Congress. President Tyler vetoed the bill to protect existing contracts and to retain presidential prerogative....

This is fantastic news.

I congratulate North and South Korea on their cooperation to bring two teams together for the Winter Olympics. I look forward to the competition and the participation of North Korea.

I sincerely hope this is just the beginning of peace on the Korean Peninsula. This is a real victory for both Presidents, Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-Un. 

President Moon Jae-in was elected to return the peace on the Korean Peninsula. He won by an incredible margin of 42 percent.

This is what the South Koreans have longed for and now they have a President bringing peace in his administration. I hope this joint representation of the Korean Peninsula will bring a kinship to the people of the two countries. I look forward to greater and greater cooperation between the two countries.

A week after North Korea said it would send a delegation to next month's Winter Olympics in South Korea, the regime's demands have taken on a sinister pattern....

The Trump Administration are monsters. This is the National Parks and there is no sensitivity to the people.

Three-quarters of the members of a federally chartered board advising the National Park Service abruptly quit Monday night out of frustration that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke had refused to meet with them or convene a single meeting last year.

The resignation of nine out of 12 National Park System Advisory Board members leaves the federal government without a functioning body to designate national historic or natural landmarks. It also underscores the extent to which federal advisory bodies have become marginalized under the Trump administration. In May 2017, Zinke suspended all outside committees while his staff reviewed their composition and work.

In a letter to the secretary, departing board chairman Tony Knowles, a former Alaska governor, wrote that he and eight other members "have stood by waiting for the chance to meet and continue the partnership . . . as prescribed by law." All of the signatories had terms set to expire in May....
