As expected, the House of Representatives passed the bill to overturn President Bush’s embryonic stem cell funding bill. But the last election only amounted to a gain of 15 additional votes in support of the bill, from the previous high of 238 to a current total of 253. It takes 290 votes to overturn. So, at least for now, the President’s expected veto is likely to hold.
