Senate votes to ban all Internet gambling nationwide
The Senate voted 90 to 10 to outlaw Internet gambling, asserting it is addictive and unregulated, with minors at risk and crime linked to online bets. The measure, tied to a $33.2 billion Commerce spending bill, would force ISPs to block sites and extend federal prohibitions to new tech.

House votes to override Clinton abortion ban veto
The Republican controlled House voted 296 to 132 to override President Clinton's veto of a late term abortion ban, with 219 Republicans and 77 Democrats opposing the veto. The debate labeled the issue political ahead of the fall elections, while critics argued the bill is unconstitutional without maternal health exceptions. The Senate had previously failed to reach a two thirds override.
