Senate Republicans should hold a vote to override an expected veto of legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the No. 2 Senate Republican, told Bloomberg BNA Feb. 10. "I'd be happy with that. I think it would certainly put a number of Democrats in the hot seat," said Cornyn, who is Senate majority whip, in the Capitol. "I think we ought to play this all the way through. We are trying to get it to the president first, but I think that is something we will be discussing" with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) The Senate passed the bill (S. 1) Jan. 29 by a 62-36 vote, five short of the votes needed to override a presidential veto. The House is expected to pass the Senate-amendment version Feb. 11, sending it to President Barack Obama's desk (46 ER 277, 1/30/15).
