The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly yesterday to override President Bush's veto of the Waterways Resources Development Act, which allocated funding for waterway improvements, port development, flood protection and wetlands restoration. The Senate will take up the matter soon, where the veto override is expected to pass. Each body needs a so-called 'super-majority'of 2/3 to pass the measure. The House's vote in favor of the override was 361-54. If passed by the Senate, this would be the first time Congress has overturned a Bush administration veto.
