The Republican governor of Vermont yesterday vetoed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, only to have the state's Legislature override the veto today.
The bill passed easily through the Vermont Senate last month, 26-4, but the House approved it 95-52, just five votes short of the two-thirds majority needed in the 150-member body to override a gubernatorial veto.
The Associated Press reports the vote today to override the veto was 23-5 in the state Senate and 100-49 in the House.
