That's a very good majority vote there; enough to easily override a Presidential veto if it does come to that. But with a non-partisan vote that large, it would seem like an obvious bill to sign into law.
But either way, if you look at the House vote (and lack of an actual numerical Senate vote), it's obvious that support of STEM initiatives crosses party lines. And in a day and age where extremism is at an all time high, and compromise and negotiation have seemingly been all but been forgotten, this is a good sign - for politics and programs such as FIRST.
