The Senate is expected to take a procedural vote Thursday morning on the veto override of the Clean Water, or "Waters of the United States," rule. The veto resolution originally passed the Senate under the Congressional Review Act with 53 votes.

McConnell added that Obama's veto showed two things, that the president "apparently stands with Washington bureaucrats on this issue, not the American people" and that he "thinks Americans' clean water rules should be based on Washington politics."

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation extends the administration's oversight of small bodies of water, including streams and wetlands.

2. I find this attack line stunning

Given the condition of water in Flint, MI that he would continue to best this drum. The polluted water source used in Flint was the Flint River, water was so corrosive that it ate through lead pipe and caused one of the greatest health crisis in modern American history.
