Tax Veto Upheld By U S House Vote In 1947
The U S House upheld President Truman's veto of a 4.0 billion farm relief bill by 268 to 137, failing to reach the two thirds required to override. Republicans split 33 to 35 with 134 Democrats and a few others supporting the president, signaling the Senate unlikely to vote on overriding the veto. Speaker Martin said this ends tax-cut hopes for the year unless a new Republican president comes.
