It was very close, but last night conservatives in the House sustained the President's veto of Labor/HHS. The vote was 277-141 (roll call). If two nays votes had switched, they would have had enough to override. The Washington Post has more. This is bad news for the people who depend on the programs funded by Labor/HHS. Most likely, the Democrats will reduce funding to enact this bill. Funding may go down in other appropriations bills as well, since it is now fairly certain that the House will sustain the President's veto of any of those bills, too. Indeed, Democrats are already making overtures to begin negotiations with the President over funding reductions.
