Veto showdown shapes war funding standoff in Washington
Moments after President Bush vetoed the bill, a war protester with a bullhorn challenged the White House. In Congress, Democrats held a signing ceremony for a $124.2 billion Iraq funding bill before sending it to the president, who argued the proposal would worsen chaos in Iraq. Bush then visited Florida to meet military commanders at MacDill Air Force Base before returning to veto. Senate leaders signaled limited talks while Republicans favored benchmarks without a withdrawal timetable. Polls show waning presidential support four years after the Mission Accomplished moment.
