Today in History Queen Anne withheld Royal Assent (equivalent to a Presidential Veto) of the Scottish Militia Bill in 1708 which was the last time a British monarch vetoed legislation. The US War Department created the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1824. Samuel Roxy Rothofel opened the Roxy Theater in NYC in 1927. FDR signed Lend-Lease into law in 1941. Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the USSR in 1985. And in 2004, Spain was rocked by a series of train bombings in Madrid.
