The signing takes place at the U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, DC. The landmark DADT repeal vote passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 250 to 175 and the Senate by a vote of 65 to 31 and ends a policy first established in 1993 during the Clinton administration which barred openly gays and lesbians from serving in the military.
