US Senate votes to lift ban on travelling to Cuba.
Republican Senator Mike Enzi said: "For 40 years we've said 'sanctions', and for 40 years it hasn't worked," referring to the failure of the ban to unseat Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
But the White House said it was premature to lift the ban.
Presumerably it's got to last for 42 years, so that Jeb Bush doesn't need to fix the Florida result in next years elections again if anti-Castro Cuban Americans decide to vote against Dubya in protest.
