House Passes Debt Limit Bill with Rep. Giffords Voting Aye
Rep. Gabriele Giffords (D-AZ) returned to her job representing her Tucson, AZ district in the House of Representatives today after a seven month absence following an assassination attempt in January. Her vote helped the House pass the debt limit/deficit reduction deal agreed upon by the White House and congressional leaders yesterday.
The House passed the bill 269-161, but the big story was the return of Rep. Giffords.
The Senate is expected to vote on the bill tomorrow.
