Washington (CNN) -- The Senate voted 65-31 on Saturday to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law, which bans openly gay people from serving in the armed forces.
The measure now goes to President Obama to sign. The House of Representatives passed the measure 250-175 on Wednesday.
Obama and the Pentagon must certify that repealing the 1993 law will not adversely affect the armed services.
Obama earlier Saturday called an earlier procedural vote advancing the repeal toward a final vote a "historic step toward ending the controversial policy."
"It is time to close this chapter in our history," Obama said.
Earlier Saturday, a bill that would have offered a path to citizenship to some illegal immigrants who entered the United States as children failed a procedural vote.
Known formally as the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, the DREAM Act fell five votes short of the 60 needed to be considered for final passage.
Obama said Saturday that the failure of the Senate to move the DREAM Act forward was "incredibly disappointing."
