The House defense authorization bill, H.R. 6395, passed by a vote of 295-125 on July 21. Some aspects of the bill have prompted a veto threat from the White House.
The Senate version of the bill, S. 4049, doesn’t currently include the sanctions provisions affecting Turkey. Idaho Republican Jim Risch, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, has introduced a similar amendment, but it’s unclear whether the Senate would take it up.

Yea, he ripped into em pretty good!
He did rightfully so. The monies slated for foreign countries alone were obscene and in the Kennedy Center and Smithsonian etc. To throw that in this bill is asinine as well. All of that can be addressed later with a different congress, fook them cause they are surely been fooking the public and are trying to do so again. So sick of riders attached to bills it's the bane of our political system as much as lobbyists.
it seems to me that the U.S. code is part of the Constitution.

If I were put in that situation, I would vote no every time. I would not agree to something without being given proper time to review what I am agreeing to, so shame on any of them that voted for it.

Good to know. Now the president can’t do anything without congress approval. Police action it is.
