In the kind of vote which unifies the Democratic Congress and the Democratic base, the House voted 235-185 to kill House Vote #573.

I believe this is a version of the bill President Obama justly vetoed recently. (Thank you Mr. President.) It would have forced every state to accept a notarized statement made in any other state.

Though the language doesn't specifically address Mortgage Fraud notarizations, it surely would have made it easier for the agents of such fraud to get their way in many instances.

(late h/t to burrow owl. This was a required vote to override the veto. At least this time they had to tally the yeas and nays, unlike the voice vote on the first go round.

The best part...
