House Sustains SCHIP Veto
Minutes ago, the House voted to sustain President Bush's veto of the State Children's Health Insurance reauthorization and expansion. 273 members voted to override, while 156, including Democrats Gene Taylor, of Mississippi, and Jim Marshall, of Georgia, voted to sustain the veto.
The two parties will go back to the negotiating table and try to find a compromise that can come closer to the two-thirds majority required to overcome a presidential veto.
