Democrats fail to override Ford veto on housing bill
The House vote 288 to 151 fell 16 votes short of the two thirds needed to overturn President Ford. The $1.35 billion bill would aid mid income home buyers with down payment and mortgage interest subsidies for homes under $34,000. Ford vetoed, saying it would harm the housing industry and economy, while he offered $2 billion for mortgage purchase subsidies and urged more funding. Speaker Albert led the override effort amid division among Democrats.
