The U.S. House on Thursday voted to codify same-sex marriage protections into law, sending the Respect for Marriage Act to Joe Biden's desk.
The legislation, which also codifies interracial marriage protections, passed the House on a 258-169 vote after moving through the Senate last week with bipartisan support. Thirty-nine Republicans voted for the Respect for Marriage Act Thursday, down from the 47 who supported the measure when it initially passed the House in July.
The bill was spearheaded by U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.
Kristin Brey breaks down what the bill does and doesn't do.
