French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Cécilia, are separating after being married for 11 years. This isn't the first separation for the first couple of France.

House Democrats look to be still about 15 votes short of being able to override President Bush's veto today for an expansion of the SCHIP program that provides middle-income children with health insurance.
