The House passed legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline Wednesday, heightening a political showdown with President Barack Obama , who has vowed to veto the bill.
The legislation, approved 270-152 by the GOP-controlled House, authorizes TransCanada Corp. , to construct the 1,179-mile pipeline, which has been under review by the Obama administration for more than six years. The Senate, also in Republicans’ hands, passed the legislation late last month.
