First veto override vote likely Wednesday

摘要

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) plans to file cloture tomorrow on the chamber's effort to override President Obama's veto of legislation to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada. Filing the motion is necessary because the Democratic minority is planning to object to the override attempt. So the Senate will likely take a cloture vote Wednesday to move forward with the measure and Thursday on whether to bypass the president's veto.
