FILE - In this Dec. 29, 2016, file photo, protesters demonstrate against the new Bears Ear National Monument in Montecello, Utah. President Barack Obama expanded his environmental legacy in the final days of his presidency with national monument designations on lands in Utah and Nevada that have become flash points over use of public land in the U.S. West. With some rural Nevadans angry that President Barack Obama designated two sprawling national monuments in 2016, two Republican congressional lawmakers, Sen. Dean Heller and Rep. Mark Amodei, introduced a measure to restrict the ability of future presidents to do the same. They said their legislation would make Nevada off-limits to new monuments that don't have approval from Congress. (Rick Egan/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP, File)
