Veto Move Faces Tough House Fight
Washington Democrats prepared to vote to override President Eisenhower's veto of the farm bill though they expect failure. Speaker Rayburn argued the veto is Eisenhower's responsibility and a recorded roll call is planned for campaign use. Eisenhower said politics did not drive his decision while GOP support showed resistance to overriding. The math remains unfavorable with 181 votes needed to sustain or defeat the veto, and no clear path forward for farm legislation.
