Breaking: Congress Tries To Expand Embryonic Stem Cell Research Falls Short of Votes to Override a Bush Veto

Rest assured, the President will veto this!

The new Democratic-led House of Representatives voted on Thursday to lift President George W. Bush’s restrictions on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research.

But the vote largely along party lines fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a promised presidential veto. Bush used the only veto of his presidency last July to reject an identical measure. The White House reiterated his veto intention, saying American taxpayers should not pay for research involving the intentional destruction of human embryos.
