Bipartisan Majority Will Likely Override Obama’s Veto

“A sweeping bipartisan majority in the Senate on rejected President Obama’s veto of legislation that would allow families of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for any role in the plot, all but assuring that Mr. Obama would suffer the first override vote of his presidency,” the New York Times reports.

“The vote was 97 to 1, with only Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, siding with the president.”

“With the House nearly certain to follow the Senate later on Wednesday, the 9/11 bill will become law in a remarkable yet complicated bipartisan rebuke.”
