BREAKING: House fails to override Biden veto of resolution to overturn DC police reform laws
Lawmakers voted 233-197 in favor of overriding Biden’s veto after only 13 Democrats joined all Republicans, a majority but well short of the two-thirds threshold needed to advance the bill. As a result, the provisions included in the district’s police reform laws will remain in effect in the district.Biden vetoed the disapproval resolution on May 25, coinciding with the three-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin.
The House passed the disapproval resolution in late April, sending the legislation to the Senate for a vote where it passed with Democratic support on May 16. Its passage marked only the second time in 30 years that Congress voted to repeal a local law passed by the D.C. Council.The move angered local lawmakers who argued they have authority to pass such reforms under the D.C.
Even if the House managed to override Biden’s veto, the bill was unlikely to survive the Democratic-led Senate where it would need a two-thirds majority vote to pass. Only eight Democrats joined Republicans to pass the bill in May with a 56-43 vote, putting it below the required threshold.
