The House overturned one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders for the first time, passing a bill that restores federal workers’ bargaining rights.
The bill passed in a 231-195 vote, with 20 Republicans joining Democrats. The vote was the result of a discharge petition brought forward by Democrat Rep. Jared Golden, who is retiring at the end of this term.
The vote is a rare rebuke of Trump’s policies; congressional Republicans have repeatedly capitulated to the president, even in instances when the White House was clearly encroaching on legislative power.
