President Bush angrily denounced the bill, accusing Democrats of engaging in “an act of political theater” by passing a measure that would undermine American progress in Iraq. “I will veto it if it comes to my desk,” he said. “It is clear that my veto would be sustained.”
There are 233 Democrats in the House, far short of the two-thirds majority necessary to override a veto without a lot of defections from among the 201 Republicans. (Source: New York Times)
