The United States Senate voted 81 to 13 to override US President Donald Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Friday, marking the first time the president’s veto has been overridden by Congress.

The NDAA is the annual bill authorizing funding for national defense and has been passed every year since 1961. The NDAA was passed by Congress and presented to President Trump on December 11, 2020, but on December 23 he carried through on threats to veto the bill. The president cited the Act’s failure to address Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which waives liability to tech companies for user-generated content, as his reason for vetoing the bill. He also objected to provisions in the NDAA that would rename U.S. military bases currently named after Confederate leaders, as well as provisions that would make it more difficult for him to withdraw troops from overseas.

Overriding a presidential veto requires a vote by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House voted 322-87 to override the veto last Thursday. On Friday, Senator Bernie Sanders tried to hold up an override vote by first forcing a vote on a House bill to raise Covid-related stimulus payments from $600 to $2,000, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the House bill “[had] no realistic path to quickly pass the Senate.”

Following the override vote, President Trump took to Twitter to criticize the Senate both for not addressing Section 230 in their vote on the NDAA and for not taking up a vote on $2,000 payments to the American people.
