The legislation passed by a vote of 62-36 and will now be sent to the House of Representatives for final passage before being sent to President Obama’s desk. Obama has repeatedly threatened to veto the legislation, were it to make it to his desk.
On Thursday, the veto threat was repeated by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who said that Obama “will not sign it, will veto it.”
Congress has not yet shown that it has sufficient votes to override a presidential veto.
