From the article:

The other three no votes Wednesday came from Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan, an independent who resigned from the Republican Party last July over differences with the president, and two other conservatives, GOP Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ted Yoho of Florida.

The Senate has already approved the bill, which heads to the president’s desk 120 years after a House committee first quashed an effort to ban lynching.
