Lawmakers pass national holiday bill for Angelina Jolie's twins birth

The U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would make it a national holiday the day Angelina Jolie's twin babies are born. The 318-to-106 vote, far over the two-thirds needed to override a veto, sends the bill to the Senate, where the measure is also expected to have veto-proof support.

Representative Collin Peterson, a Minnesota Democrat who wrote the bill, says:

"The nation is enthralled with Angelina Jolie's life, especially her impending birth of baby twins. That's why we want to turn her due date into a national holiday so Americans can sit back in front of their computers and TVs and wait for word on the birth. We owe it to the American people to take a day off to reflect on Angelina's vagina and the babies that will come out of it...or it could be a C-section. Nevertheless, this occasion deserves a national holiday."
