George Washington exercised the first presidential veto of a 
Congressional bill on April 5, 1792. The bill introduced a new
plan for dividing seats in the House of Representatives that
would have increased the amount of seats for northern states.

After consulting with his politically divided and contentious
cabinet, Washington, who came from the southern state of
Virginia, ultimately decided that the plan was unconstitutional
because, in providing for additional representatives for some
states, it would have introduced a number of representatives
higher than that prescribed by the Constitution.

(FOX NEWS) – President Trump has announced the
plan to chop down the tree.

According to folklore, two trees were planted by Andrew Jackson
to honor his late wife Rachel.

President Trump said “this tree is in terrible condition, a very
dangerous safety  hazard, at the White House entrance, no
less, and must now be removed.”

Trump said the historic tree will be chopped down in coming
days, and replaced by another tree.

The president added: "The Historic wood from the tree will be
preserved by the White House Staff, and may be used for other
high and noble purposes!!!"

(FOX NEWS) – Former U.S. Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, died on Sunday
at the age of 49, according to her family. She lost her battle with
cancer.

Love, who was the daughter of Haitian immigrants and the first
black Republican woman elected to Congress in 2014, "passed
away peacefully" surrounded by family.

Love had been undergoing treatment for brain cancer, but her
daughter said earlier this month the former congresswoman’s
cancer was no longer responding to it.

In Ripon, Wisconsin, former members of the Whig Party met
to establish a new party to oppose the spread of slavery into
the western territories.

The Whig Party, which was formed in 1834 to oppose the
“tyranny” of President Andrew Jackson, had shown itself
incapable of coping with the national crisis over slavery.

By February 1854, anti-slavery Whigs had begun meeting in
the upper midwestern states to discuss the formation of a
new party. One such meeting, in Wisconsin on March 20,
1854, is generally remembered as the founding meeting of
the Republican Party.
