By Michelle Krebs June 17, 2009

WASHINGTON -- Cash for Clunkers legislation passed in the House on Tuesday by a narrower margin than many had expected and now goes to the Senate Wednesday where it faces opposition by some Republicans.

The House passed the Cash for Clunkers measure as part of a $106 billion wartime spending bill by a vote of 222 to 206.

Senate Republicans see Cash for Clunkers as more handouts for the auto industry.
