Bush veto upheld by Senate in party line vote
The Senate voted 65 to 35 to sustain President Bush's veto of a bill expanding political rights for about 3 million federal and postal workers. The measure would have revised the Hatch Act prohibitions on campaign activity for government employees, requiring a two-thirds majority to override. The House had previously approved the override 327 to 93, but today's result preserves Bush's 12th consecutive veto victory.
