Obama broken promise #512 rejected by House

The House of Representatives, by a massive 429-2 vote, rejected a presidential signing statement by Barack Obama, another thing he pledged to reverse course on, contra President Bush, and now hasn’t.

The amendment passed Thursday seeks to nullify Obama's signing statement by withholding funds from any agreement involving the Treasury Department that doesn't follow the conditions set out in the supplemental bill.

Now, can we see the House assert its “power of the purse” even more?
