On October 3rd, 2007, President Bush vetoed the reauthorization of the state children's health insurance program (SCHIP) calling the bill "deeply flawed."  The compromise legislation would have provided an additional $35 billion for SCHIP over the next five years helping insure millions of poor and low-income children.  The House has scheduled its override vote for October 18th at which time they will need approximately 14 additional Republican votes to override the President's veto.
