SCHIP Veto Sustained
By sage of monticello | October 18, 2007
Earlier today, Democrats mounted an effort to override President Bush’s veto of SCHIP. It failed.
All Democrats, save two, voted in favor of the override.
44 Republicans voted in favor of the override.
Overall, the bill came 13 votes short of the constitutionally required two-thirds supermajority to override a presidential veto.
More coming later.

Any idea where we can find a list of the Republicans that voted to override?
