Congress passes Keystone XL bill, setting up veto showdown with Obama | 11 Feb 2015 | The House passed a bill to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline Wednesday, setting the stage for the first veto showdown of the new Congress with President Obama. On a 270-152 vote that fell mostly along party lines, the House approved the bill, which has already cleared the Senate. The measure will now head to Obama's desk. The president has vowed to veto the measure. Only one Republican, Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.), voted against the bill.
