WASHINGTON – The Senate on Friday overrode President Donald Trump s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) the first congressional override in Trump’s tenure as president and a final rebuke of the president just weeks before he leaves office.
The House of Representatives on Monday voted 322-87 to override the president, a remarkable bipartisan condemnation of the president in divided Washington. The Senate voted 81-13 in favor of overriding Trump, and the NDAA will be enacted into law despite Trump s disapproval.
