House overrides Trump veto of defense policy bill

More than two-thirds of the US House of Representatives voted on Monday to override President Donald Trump’s veto of a must-pass defense policy bill, The Hill reports.

This marks the first successful override vote of Trump’s presidency. A sufficient number of lawmakers have voted to send the action to the Senate, which also needs to muster two-thirds support in order for Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to be overridden.
