SCHIPs had it's second veto from President Bush....BD 

President Bush’s [second] veto of an SCHIP expansion was only the fourth veto of his presidency. AP reports that the White House "sought as little attention as possible, with the president wielding his veto behind closed doors without any fanfare or news coverage."
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that they have not yet scheduled a date for an override vote, but it could be "next week" or "the week after."

For American kids seriously in need of the care SCHIP would provide, Bush's veto is like getting a lump of coal in a Christmas stocking.
