The President signed two new laws that stop a local tax change in Washington, D.C., and start a project to celebrate the country's 250th birthday.
One law cancels a recent decision by the D.C. government regarding how local income and business taxes are handled. Because D.C. is a federal district, Congress has the power to step in and block local laws they do not agree with.
The second law, the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule Act, orders the creation of a special time capsule. This is meant to honor the United States turning 250 years old in 2026.
The official in charge of the Capitol building's maintenance will lead the time capsule project, which is designed to preserve a piece of history for future generations of Americans.
