House Passes Keystone Bill, Sending It To Obama For Veto

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives passed the Senate version of legislation approving construction of the Keystone XL pipeline on Wednesday, sending the bill to President Barack Obama’s desk for an anticipated veto.

The bill passed by a vote of 270-152.

While the Republican majorities in the House and Senate have put Keystone atop their priority lists this Congress, neither chamber has enough votes to override a presidential veto.
