Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the following statement after the House and the Senate today successfully voted to override President Obama's September 23, 2016 veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (S. 2040), allowing families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to sue the government of Saudi Arabia:
"The overwhelming bipartisan support to override the President's veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act exemplifies that Congress stands united against terrorism.
