Surprise, surprise, with 0 republican votes in favor. Who needs 'em?
P.S.For those who missed it, 219 votes in favor vs. 212 against in the House.
P.P.S. Second vote has already passed 232 against altering the bill vs. 192 for changing it (or if you like, the motion technically failed for changing the bill. I just prefer the positive phrasing more).
P.P.S. And.... that makes the final vote passed at 220 vs. 211!
Edit: As far as the Republicans go, I don't actually mean them any harm. It was just too easy to jest a bit in light-hearted celebration. :)
Final edit (I think): If you missed all this as it happened, this thread has some great coverage and commentary on the debate & voting as it happened!
Also, Obama was speaking live about the bill. If anyone else has a recording, please post it!
Update: This thread on r/AskReddit has some good explanations of what this bill means specifically.
For anyone who's not sure what's going on, this was just the bill passing in the House of Representatives. Things still have to go back to the Senate. That said, we're definitely looking at a historic moment.
