\n The Democratic-led House voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to ditch statues of Confederate leaders from the Capitol.<\/p>\n

The bill \u2014 requiring the removal of at least 10 statues from the National Statuary Hall Collection \u2014 passed with a bipartisan vote of 305-113.<\/p>\n

The statues include those of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States, and his vice president Alexander Stephens.<\/p>\n

It would also immedia<\/a>tely remove three statues honoring men who defended slavery, segregation and white supremacy, including one of former Vice President John C. Calhoun.<\/p>\n

A 2-foot-high marble bust of Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney \u2014 the author of the 1857 Dred Scott decision that declared African Americans couldn\u2019t be citizens \u2014 would also be pulled.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefenders and purveyors of sedition, slavery, segregation and white supremacy have no place in this temple of liberty,\u201d House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said at a news<\/a> conference ahead of the House vote.<\/p>\n

The Maryland Democrat said it was app<\/a>ropriate that Taney\u2019s bust would be replaced with one of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the high court\u2019s first black justice.<\/p>\n

The House vote comes amid a nationwide reckoning over which American historical figures are commemorated with statues or monuments.<\/p>\n

Names and statues of men who owned slaves or fought on the pro-slavery side of the Civil War specifically have been targeted in the nationwide protests against police brutality and racism sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

If the legislation passes both chambers, it will need the signature of President Trump, who has opposed the removal of historic statues.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump threatened to veto a House funding bill over a provision requiring the names of Confederate soldiers and leaders be strip<\/a>ped from military bases.<\/p>\n
