Keystone Headed for Likely Veto

Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline by a vote of 270-152.  Twenty-nine Democrats voted to support the measure, which passed the Senate on Jan. 29.  The bill faces an expected veto by President Obama, who says he wants the State Department to finish an ongoing review process before deciding to approve the project.
