WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the
chamber would take a second vote to approve an increase in stimulus
checks to $2,000 from $600 requiring just a simple majority if it fails
to approve the measure in an initial vote requiring support from
two-thirds of the chamber's lawmakers. |
