According to CNN, "Lawmakers scrambled Thursday to fix a clerical error that derailed an effort to override President Bush's veto of a $300 billion farm bill. The House of Representatives voted 316-108 Wednesday to override the president's veto but, shortly after the vote, lawmakers learned that a 'not particularly controversial' section of the bill was accidentally omitted from the version that Congress sent to the White House, said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland. The discovery prompted concerns from Hoyer's Republican counterpart that the override vote was improper. "What's happened here raises serious constitutional questions -- very serious," said Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. "I don't see how we can proceed with the override as it occurred."
