Senate Votes to Override Obama Veto on 9/11 Victims Bill - The New York Times

Senate Votes to Override Obama Veto on 9/11 Victims Bill - The New York Times:

Then earlier this month, Mr. Ryan, who had encountered families of the Sept. 11 victims at a fund-raiser on Long Island, reversed suddenly his usual position of bringing no major bill to the House floor that had not passed muster with the relevant committee, and put the bill on a fast track. The House voted hastily and overwhelmingly in favor, sending it to Mr. Obama’s desk.
This led to some of the bill’s co-sponsors to express fear that it would actually become law.
