Here is some more. Looks like there are not enough to override a veto.
The GI Bill championed by Webb, a freshman Democrat, passed 256-166. It would pay college tuition plus a cost-of-living allowance to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The majority included 32 Republicans, bolstering Webb's claim that, despite opposition from the Bush administration, the bill has bipartisan support. The vote total was far short of the two-thirds of House members needed to override a veto, however.
