House passes bill strengthening govt watchdogs (& guess what * will do with it?) |
|
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/03/house-passes-bill-strengthening-govt-watchdogs/House passes bill strengthening govt watchdogs. Today, a bipartisan majority voted 404-11 to give government watchdogs “more autonomy and protection from political retribution.” President Bush has promised to veto the legislation, but the bill garnered significantly more support than the two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto.
