A vote to overrule President Obama’s veto of a bill that would repeal key parts of the Affordable Care Act and take away federal funding from Planned Parenthood failed to gather a two-thirds majority on the House floor today.
The House voted 241-186 to override the veto. They would have needed 285 votes to do so. The override attempt was expected to fail, but Speaker Paul Ryan said taking the vote was important to show what the GOP could do with a Republican in the White House.
