The White House has signaled it would likely veto the bill, and it's not clear if it would get a vote in the Senate.In a notice to congressional offices on Tuesday, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark's office said Democrats are "urged to VOTE NO" on the bill."The legislation would constitute an unprecedented limitation on President Biden's executive authority and administrative discretion to implement U.S. foreign policy," the notice said.
The notice accuses Republicans of "rushing" the bill by not having it go through the regular committee process, calling it "another partisan stunt by Extreme MAGA Republicans who are determined to hurt President Biden politically."The Republican-led House Oversight Committee is investigating the pauses.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday: "We strongly, strongly oppose attempts to constrain the president's ability to deploy U.S. security assistance."Share on linkedin
