The veto was only the second of Mister Bush’s presidency. The first was last year, to stop Congress from ending his restrictions on federal money for stem cell research.
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted to try to save the war spending bill that the president vetoed. But, as in the case of his first veto, there was not enough support for an override.
The president met with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders after the House fa
