Steny Hoyer: House Doesn't Have Votes to Override Obama Veto on Refugee Bill

U.S. Representative Steny Hoyer, the number two Democrat in the House, said on Tuesday there would not be enough votes in the chamber to override President Barack Obama's promised veto of a bill tightening the clearance process for refugees from Syria and Iraq.

The Senate has not yet scheduled a vote on the measure. When it passed the House earlier this month, 47 Democrats broke with Obama to back it.
