House votes symbolic anti-debt measure in protest
The GOP controlled House approved a largely ceremonial 239 to 176 vote opposing raising the debt ceiling by 1.2 trillion dollars. Democrats and Obama backers say the Senate will kill it, while the president retains veto power to push through the increase. Lawmakers frame the vote as a critique of spending, not a real block on borrowing.
