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.
Faith (December 22, 2002 – September 22, 2014) was a bipedal
dog, born with three legs; two fully developed hind legs and a
deformed front leg, which was amputated when she was seven
months old.
Her owner, Jude Stringfellow, adopted Faith when the mother
dog was found trying to smother the deformed puppy—her
son rescued the puppy and brought her home.
Many people, including veterinarians, advised that Faith be
euthanized. Instead, using a spoon with peanut butter as an
incentive, Jude taught Faith to hop. Faith began to walk on
her own.
Faith was given a non-commission rank of E5 Sgt. at Ft. Lewis, Washington in June 2006. She visited more than 2,300 wounded
warriors in hospitals and wards throughout the world, and was
seen by more than 2,000,000 active soldiers at bases, airports,
and ceremonies.
She wore an Army Combat Uniform jacket and would get excited
when it was pulled out of the closet, as she knew it meant she
was about to meet some soldiers.
