House Republicans fail to override Clinton estate tax veto
September 7, 2000
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Clinton on Thursday praised congressional Democrats who helped sustain his veto of a GOP-backed measure to repeal estate taxes as prospects for a compromise on the election-year legislation appeared unlikely.
Clinton vetoed the measure last week, calling it an irresponsible break for the rich at the expense of other taxpayers. Thursday’s 274-157 margin fell 14 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto. Only one Republican opposed the bill, while 53 Democrats joined 220 Republicans in their override attempt.
