The measure passed both the House and the Senate, but was vetoed by President Obama. Vote to Override the President’s Veto February 2, 2016 House Roll Call 53 Our Position: Oppose Failed: 241-186; 7 Not Voting (two-thirds majority required for passage) After President Obama vetoed the original bill to defund Planned Parenthood and overturn the ACA, the House attempted to override the veto. It failed despite the majority voting in favor of the override, as overturning a presidential veto requires a two-thirds majority.

  • Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks at a Democratic
    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks at a Democratic National Committee Rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania October 30, 2010 Hello, Philadelphia! Oh, this is a good-looking crowd here. Are you fired up? Are you ready to go? First of all, thank you, Elliot, for the unbelievable introduction. We appreciate you. We've got a couple other special guests here. I want to make sure that I acknowledge them. Governor Ed Rendell is in the house; U.S. Senator Arlen Specter is here; U.S. Senator Bob Casey; Congressman Chaka Fattah; Congressman, soon-to-be-Senator, Joe Sestak; Mayor Michael Nutter; Allegheny County Executive and soon-to-be-Governor Dan Onorato. I want to thank the first-time voters and Temple University Young Democrats for all the great work you guys have done. And give it up for Quincy Lyons for the great job he's doing organizing. Now, I am not here to give a long speech, because I want everybody out there, not in here. I'm here to deliver two messages. The first message is thank you, because not only did all of you mobilize, organize, and energize in 2008 to help send me to the White House, but over the last 2 years, so many of you have continued to be involved each and every day to make sure that we could keep moving this country forward. It's because of you that young people are getting college scholarships that weren't getting it before. It's because of you that young people can now stay on their parents' health insurance till they're 26 and folks who have health insurance aren't dropped by insurance companies when they get sick.
