Senate overrides veto on family leave bill in partisan fight
The Senate voted 68 31 to override President Bush's veto of the family leave measure, a move aimed at shaping the campaign season. The bill would require firms with 50 or more workers to grant up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for newborns or seriously ill relatives. House override prospects appeared unlikely. Several Iowa and other House members split on the issue, while leaders signaled ongoing efforts to push spending bills and tax measures.
