| February 10, 2009 | | Three Republicans cross aisle to pass Senate version of the economic stimulus bill | U.S. president Barack Obama is stumping today, trying to drum up public support for an economic stimulus bill that is not particularly popular amongst Americans. However, he might have gotten a boost today: Three Republicans crossed the aisle to pass the Senate version of the economic stimulus bill with 61 votes.
The Senate version of the bill, though, has a number of differences from the House version. This means that before the bill can be signed, reconciliation needs to be reached between the two versions.
