James Garfield vetoed two significant bills during his presidency: the "Texas Seed Bill," which aimed to provide federal aid to farmers affected by a drought, and a bill that sought to increase the number of post office clerks. He believed that the Texas Seed Bill set a precedent for federal intervention in local matters, while he viewed the increase in post office clerks as unnecessary. Garfield's vetoes reflected his commitment to limited government intervention and fiscal responsibility.
