Democrats Vote to Kill 42,000 Jobs

Keystone veto override fails

The Senate failed on Wednesday to override President Obama’s veto of legislation approving the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, falling five votes short of the two-thirds majority needed in a 62-37 vote.

Eight Democrats voted with Republicans to override Obama: Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Warner (Va.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Michael Bennet (Colo.), Tom Carper (Del.) and Jon Tester (Mont.).

Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), who backs the pipeline, missed the vote.

The eight Democrats also voted to approve the $8 billion oil sands project in January. Sixty-seven votes are needed to override a presidential veto.Keystone proponents vowed to continue the fight for the pipeline despite the failure.

“This is coming back in the form an infrastructure bill, a road bill that we are all voting for,” said Manchin.

The State Deptartment has approved the pipeline twice and President Styer Obama has sent it back to them both times to find something wrong with it.

Make him veto it over and over, and attach it to legislation he really wants.
