Clinton vetoes first act of presidency in Rose Garden
President Clinton delivered his maiden veto in a ceremonial Rose Garden moment, denouncing Republican education, crime and environmental cuts as terrible policy. He offered to forgo a line-item veto on tax cuts if Congress passes the line-item authority this year, while vowing to veto spending if needed. House Speaker Gingrich warned of a return rewrite and passage of the measure, which also included disaster aid and Jordan assistance.
