Jan. 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. House will vote Thursday on overriding two vetoes issued by President Donald Trump last week.
Lawmakers in the House are expected to pass the two bills again, based on their overwhelming support when they voted to send them to the president's desk.
A two-thirds vote in support of the bills is required in the House and Senate to override a presidential veto. Thursday's vote in the House is the first step toward overriding these vetoes.
The first bill, the "Finish the Arkansas Conduit Act," would reduce payments for Colorado communities that receive water from a water pipeline tapped into the Pueblo Reservoir. The second, the "Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act," expands the Miccosukee Tribe's land in Florida.
Both bills received bipartisan support, including strong support from Republicans in the affected states.
