House passes farm bill by large margin
The House on Wednesday emphatically approved a massive five-year farm bill by a veto-proof margin. Brushing off President Bush's opposition, many Republicans joined a majority of Democrats in approving the farm bill 318-106. This is well over the two-thirds vote needed to override Bush's promised veto.
