Congress has voted to override the president's veto for the first time in
his administration over a controversial piece of legislation that would
allow the families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia
for any role in the plot.
The overwhelming 97-1 vote in the Senate and 348 -77 vote in the House comes
after Obama vetoed the bill on Friday and a consequent push by 9/11
survivors, victims' family members and their supporters to buck the
president. A two-thirds vote in each chamber was required to pass the bill
over the president's objections.
