WASHINGTON (CN) — The House of Representatives failed Friday to override President Donald Trump’s veto of a bipartisan resolution that blocked a controversial Education Department debt relief policy for students who claimed they were the victims of fraud.

Though the measure received 238 votes in favor of override on Friday afternoon, it fell short of the two-thirds majority requirement.

Updated by the Obama administration in 2015, the borrower defense to repayment rule provides for debt relief to students who show they were defrauded by their colleges. Education Secretary Betsy Devos issued a new rule last year making it harder for students who claimed they were defrauded to receive debt relief.

1. :( That's too bad!

[sandensea]

2. How predictable. Cheeto's being opposed to efforts to curb fraud

is like Ted Bundy's being opposed to efforts to curb violence against women.

Or Trump himself, for that matter.

6. He's all about the freedumb

7. And as he himself said, GOP voters are perfect b/c they're 'the dumbest people'

5. We don't have 2/3 of the House.

and the GOP has too many Trumpists to support an override of the fool that's driving them into oblivion.

I can live with this one. There will be greater outrages before Jan 19th.
