Senate Democrats might force President Biden to use his first veto if they send a bill to his desk overturning a Washington, D.C., crime law. Last week, the House passed a resolution to soften the punishment for homicide, robberies, and carjackings.
Last week, the House passed a resolution that would overturn a law softening the punishment for homicide, robberies, and carjackings. The measure is heading to the Senate, where just a few Democrats could make the difference between it failing or moving forward.The indecision among Senate Democrats on whether to pass the measure or not highlights the party's divide regarding crime and Washington's self-governance.
The resolution cannot be filibustered, so all it would take is 51 senators to roll back the capital city's statute. Congress hasn't overridden a district statute in more than 30 years. The House resolution pulled support from 31 Democrats, in addition to all of the chamber's Republicans. And several Democratic senators have been silent on whether they support overruling the district's new law.
