US Senate passes $602 billion defense authorization bill against Obama's will
The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to pass a $602 billion defense authorization bill, despite President Barack Obama's threat to veto the annual policy measure.
The vote was 85-13, far more than the majority needed to pass the 100-member Senate. The Senate bill now must be reconciled with one the House of Representatives passed last month before it can be sent to the White House for Obama to sign or veto.
