The debt ceiling compromise bill sailed to passage in the House on Wednesday evening.
The House voted 314-117 after just over an hour of debate on the legislation.
The bill required a simple majority — 218 — to pass in the House. Over 70 Republicans voted against the bill.
Only a handful of days remaining until the nation hits the X-date on which it could default, June 5.
