Trump has 10 days to decide on Chiricahua national park bill
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 00:02 · Archive
President Donald Trump must decide within 10 days whether to sign a bill making Chiricahua National Monument Arizona's fourth national park.
A bill to make Chiricahua National Monument Arizona's fourth national park has arrived on President Donald Trump's desk for signature. The Chiricahua National Park Act cleared the Senate on 30 September and officially reached Trump on Thursday. The bill was introduced by Arizona Rep. Juan Ciscomani.
Trump has 10 days, not counting Sundays, to make his decision. If he signs it, the 102-year-old monument in Cochise County becomes a national park. If he takes no action and Congress remains in session, the bill becomes law automatically. Should he veto it, the bill returns to the House, where two-thirds of both the House and Senate must vote for it again to override his veto and make it law.
If approved, Chiricahua would join Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Saguaro as Arizona's national parks and would become the nation's 64th national park.
