House fails to override Trump’s veto of bipartisan water bill that rankled Boebert

[1srelluc]

WASHINGTON — An effort to override President Trump’s vetoes of bipartisan bills that cleared Congress last month fell flat Thursday.

Lawmakers voted 236-188 to override Trump’s veto of the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act, falling short of the needed two-thirds majority threshold, sparing the president of embarrassment in the GOP-led Congress.

The House also voted 248-177 to undo Trump’s veto of the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, which had been a priority of Colorado lawmakers, but also didn’t have enough votes.

Oh look, someone decided to read the Bills.

So much for Trump's lame duck status.
