House Democrats rebuked President Trump for rejecting the Paris Agreement Thursday, passing a bill that would bar him from taking the U.S. out of the landmark international climate change accord.
Democrats provided almost all of the votes for the bill, with none of them opposing it. Only three House Republicans backed it: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Elise Stefanik of New York, and Vern Buchanan of Florida. Democrats said the legislation, which passed by a 231-190 margin, is the first major climate change bill approved by the House in a decade.
