The House failed (220-203) to override the President’s veto. You can compare the roll call to the original vote (218-212). Not much of interest changed. Wayne Gilchrest and Walter Jones remain the only two Republicans to vote in favor of the supplemental funding bill. Pete Stark, who had never previously voted for a war funding bill (voting ‘present’ to the bill the first time), voted to override the veto. Kucinich switched places with Stark. He had originally voted against the supplemental…this time he voted ‘present’.
Maxine Waters, John Lewis, Diane Watson, and Michael Michaud all voted against the supplemental and then flipped to support an override.
The Blue Dogs that voted against the bill: Barrow (GA), Boren (OK), L. Davis (TN), McNulty (NY), Taylor (MS), Matheson (UT), Marshall (GA).
