The bill that was defeated in the Senate was a 14 billion dollar rescue plan for the automakers. The President has no power to overrule a bill that is defeated in Congress. The 17.4 billion dollar assistance to the automakers will be a low interest loan drawn from the 700 billion "bail out" fund already passed by both Houses in October.
