WASHINGTON - On March 24, President Obama vetoed a bill to allow construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
The New York Times reported, "Since 2011, the proposed Keystone pipeline, which would deliver up to 800,000 barrels daily of heavy petroleum from the oil sands of Alberta to ports and refineries on the Gulf Coast, has emerged as a broader symbol of the partisan political clash over energy, climate change and the economy."
The veto was President Obama's first major legislation rejection.
