Senate Votes to Overrule Obama's Veto of the 9/11 Victims Bill

Description

Senators from both sides of the aisle overruled President Barack Obama's veto of the 9/11 lawsuit bill, which would allow lawsuits against perceived foreign sponsors of terrorism, in Washington DC on Wednesday. Family members of the victims of the 9/11 attacks can now sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the attack. The House of Representatives is expected to ratify the vote, setting up a historical defeat for the Obama administration.
